Capo 5th Fret, Standard tuning 

Intro: G5       C5   F5 C5  x2 
Verse 1 
G5                           C5      F5  C5   
      There goes that old postman      

G5                           C5      F5  C5   
      Riding    on   his      bike        

G5                           C5         F5  C5  
    He's got a bag full of phone bills   

E5                     A5   B5   
And nothing to justify           

CHORUS 1: 
E5 *     E5      G5         A5     
   I'm as naked as a winter tree      

G5          G/f#     E5   D5   
  With promises remote             

C5            C5   G5    G/f#      E5     D5    
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade    

   C5              C5      G5 
Observe the world below 

G5       C5   F5 C5  x 2 

Verse 2 (same as the first) 
Once I had a calling 
This town praised my hands 
Now I'm sculpting apologies 
Cause folks they don't understand 

CHORUS 2 (same as the first chorus except the last chord does not resolve to a G, 
rather it pulls to Em to start the bridge, so the last line should be as follows:) 

   C5              C5      E5 
Observe the world below     

Bridge: 
E5  B5   

E5               G5 *(32000x)      
I could change myself 

A5                              C5     
There's so much else I could do 

A5                   C5     
Except I always knew 

       G5            G/f#      
I was deeper than dailyness 

       E5              D5    
I was made to be manifest 

    C5                C5     E5     C5    >G5 
The art like an amethyst of truth 

Verse 3 (same as 1&2) 
I know, it's only too clear 
Spiders spin their webs year after year 
I never had that kind of resolve 
To know my fear, to face it at all 

CHORUS 3 
E5 *     E5      G5         A5     
   I'm as naked as a winter tree      

G5          G/f#     E5   D5   
  With promises remote             

C5            C5   G5    G/f#      E5     D5    
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade   

   C5              C5      E5 *   E5  G5  A5   
Observe the world below         yeah   yeah     

   C5              C5      G5 
Observe the world below
