Intro: A5

A5     B5  D5        A5
  I am just a weary singer
A5       B5           D5       E5 
 Moving through this world of ills
A5        B5       D5      A5
 Hark the choir of predecessors
E5                     G5      C5
 When the paint grows darker still


A5      B5   D5         A5
 Once I found a golden trumpet
A5      B5          D5      E5
 In the mash of an old landfill
A5     B5  D5        A5
 Now I play for the spirits
E5                     G5      C5    
 When the paint grows darker still


F5       G5     C5      Bb5
 Winter waited in my garden
F5         G5          C5      G5
 When the sun did refuse to shine
F5     G5       C5     Bb5
 Honeybees all in a slumber
F5             G5      C5   G5
 Skies filled up the sea
F5        G5       C5   G5
 Falling down on me

F5       G5     C5      Bb5
 Winter waited in my garden
F5         G5           C5     G5
 When the sun did refuse to shine
F5     G5       C5     Bb5
 Honeybees all in a slumber
F5             G5      C5   G5
 Skies filled up the sea
F5        G5       C5  G5
 Falling down on me

A5       B5  D5        A5
 See his eyes turn to stained glass
A5       B5        D5        E5
 Head to toe in a black roadkill
A5      B5 D5        A5
 Here I am for your judgement
E5                     G5      C5    G5
 When the paint grows darker still
E5                     G5      C5    G5
 When the paint grows darker still
E5                     G5      C5
 When the paint grows darker still
