E5
red bird is dreaming 
    A5
the bottom of the sea
E5
1819
         B5
taking no passengers
          A5
meets the fishes
            E5
and his new neighbors
        B5
off the coast
    A5
of virginia

        E5                   B5
are the shipwrecks and the treasures
    A5        E5
of spain, of spain

i swallowed these tears
like a thousand other times
can't hear the thunder
of the train roll by
give me a sign
i've been haunting this corner
for too many years
the sidewalk crawls
the gutters streak

washes the day, the day, away

E5              B5
where where do you go
              A5       E5
got your sight to the window
       B5 
into the palms
          A5
maybe the palms 
              E5
can break your fall

i climb up these stairs
like a thousand other times
can't hear the traffic
or the war outside
quater to 5
been writing this letter
for too many years
the trumpet sounds
the devil speaks
oh virginia
here's to believing
to virginia

where where do you go
got your sight to the window
into the palms
maybe the palms 
can break your fall

where where do you go
got your sight to the window
into the palms
maybe the palms 
can break your fall
