Key of Bm, capo on two. Am Em Your passin' broke the silence F G On that dark October day Am Em The sun was headin' for the west F G As it did I heard you say Am Em I set my sail for a gentle breeze F G Now I leave this world as it was meant to be F G C G Am And you, did you listen to anything I said? F G Am Did you ever listen to me? Though now it seems you'll never know But every lad to a man must grow Till winter comes to celebrate Then proudly chills the bone When at last they bury me Into this ground you'll someday see And you, did you listen to anything I said? F G C Did you ever listen to me? F Though the face we wear C Sometimes seldom speaks F From the babe that cries C To this grown man's feet F May the hand still write C And its' heart shape keep F Am Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree Am G F Am G F So I will pave this road till glory Am G F Sets our broken spirit free Am G F From every cross-soaked nail pours endless rain C G Am With tears no eye should see Am G F But they could fill our highest ocean Am G F And the rivers in between Am G F With every blade that flowers must grow then drown C G E With love our cruelest sea
