Dm C F1 Dm
As you lie before me now, like a shadow
C Dm
On a pea green sea
F1 Dm
Never thought that I could find you so hollow
C Dm
Laying into me
F2 E
But this cup of wine
Am G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D* F2
A sorrow so
E Am G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D* F2
But I don't know
E Am
I've got nothing to hold on to
Dm C F1 Dm
Wished for gold so I could buy you a palace
C Dm
By the riverside
F1 Dm
You'd come in and I would fill your diamond chalice
C Dm
You were still alive
F2 E
But this cup of wine
Am G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D* F2
A sorrow so
E Am G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D* F2
But I don't know
E Am G1 D* F2
I've got nothing to hold on to
E Am
I've got nothing to hold on to

Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?

Was the water everywhere?

Were you fretful, to wade into the room?

I'd been wanting to hear from you

Oh, no

Hand it over (hand it over)

Hand it over (hand it over)

So now your hopes are all laid
Ab Am
But you hand it all away

Am F2 G1 Am
Did his eyelids fix on empty chairs
F2 G2 Ab Am
You had traveled to lay beside?
F2 G1 Am
A gentle torture to watch it all recede
F2 G2 Ab Am F2
And all the while your mother slept beside him
G2 F2 C
Oh, no
C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (oh)
F2
You're weary, lay him down

Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?
F2 G2 Ab Am
Was the water everywhere?
F2 G1 Am
Were you fearful, and long to run away
F2 G2
From the cold clasp of Illinois?
Ab Am
Oh, no
F2 G2 F2
Oh, No
C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (ooooooh)

You're weary, lay him down

Hand it over (oh)

So now your hopes are all laid

But you hand it all away

But you hand it all away

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
