Em Em7  Em   Em6add9  Em7   Em6add9  Em
ma-gna  eyes   that   track   for    miles

Em  Em6add9  Em     Em7 A7
loo-king     for    di-sease

C              Em
puzzled by the mountains

C          G   B7
tricked by the sea

           G     F#           Em     F#
and the argus is practiced compassion

with an eye on you as one is on me

Counting days and building walls, bells ring so's to warn
All the signs that guide us, chosen by the Argus
Tell me has chosen you

Led by form we shed our soul
Trusting like a child
See the dark face that saved us
Drink from his empty eyes

and the argus is practiced compassion
with an eye on you, as one is on me
will the god eye grant his forgiveness
letting droplets of light erupt from the sea...


Breakdown: Hammer G-C-C and strum C (sounds better on barre chords)

G
lying in beds of garlic and orchid

G
he closes an eye

G
which closes another
    Em
and in sleep he dreams

Em
of watching and looking

Em
and feather clouds dancing

Em                       G
he curls up his lid and sleeps

G
swirling with visions on man's confusion

G
all of the work

G
done just to appease him

    Em
the argus he cries

Em
though love has it's place in the sun

Em                                    G
it's only man's fear that carries him on
