Verse 1:
F# minorF#m                   D MajorD
I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies
                    F# minorF#m
And the burning horses and the ??flaming trees
            D MajorD
As a spiral of children climb up to the sun
             F# minorF#m
Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me
                E MajorE
As the past pulls away and the future begins
           B minorBm            D MajorD
I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in
             E MajorE
Like a wave, like a wave
                   F# minorF#m
And the past, with its savage undertow, lets go

Verse 2:
              D MajorD
And a man called Jesus, He promised He would leave us
                  F# minorF#m
With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night
            D MajorD
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
          F# minorF#m
And it isn't any fun, no, it isn't any fun
          E MajorE
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
          B minorBm
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
D MajorD                     E MajorE
And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
           F# minorF#m
And everybody hanging from a tree

And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees
                      F# minorF#m
And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies

And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes, so beautiful
     B minorBm              D MajorD E MajorE F# minorF#m
Oh, your bright green eyes, so beautiful
