Intro:  vamp it in Am

       C5                            G5
I'm pale I've brought it back to Winter Tale
                         A5
So spare the ghosts around my neck
                        F5
The winds against the sails
       C5                  G5
I'm shivering up a storm of roadside pines, a
                       A5
Thirst shreds the ballast cold
                       F5
And shows the olden times


A5

         C5                       G5
I'm bold and sorrow thrown into the day
                        A5                  F5
Into the barrels of the sun I turned and found a way
         C5                        G5
The naked branches cut the empty air
                        A5
The river birds have fled away
                         F5
From all their wear and tear

A5



     A5      E5       G5          (for each line)
The covered surface hugs the board but keeps in the sky
A childhood glimpse that keeps you warm but hangs you to dry
The shameful dream the shameful face that pulls on your heart
Those brittle winds will keep the dawn from you at the start

      C5     G5     A5      G5      F5
So bring me choirs to ease me on my way
     C5     G5     A5     F5        G5
So bring me screams of organs for the day
      C5     G5      A5    G5      F5
So bring me choirs to brighten all the gales
         C5    G5    A5       F5      G5
So bring me screams of organs and the wails
          A5
Of winter tales

I heard a lonely voice cut through the rain
"So take away my conscious mind and take away my fame,"
To embrace the day to cut through my only soul
I'd starch my love of all its parts
To the blackness of burnt coal.
