🎸 Intro:
 F C
F                C
I felt a funeral in my brain
F                      C
And mourners to and fro
F                              C
Treading - treading - 'til it seemed
D7                         F
That sense was breaking through

F                       C
And when we all were seated
F                     C
A service, like a drum
F                              C
beating - beating - 'til I thought
    D7                F
My mind was going numb
F/F#
My mind was growing

A7                        A7
And then I heard them lift a box
Dm                   G
And creak across my soul
            C
With those same boots of lead, again
      A7       Dm            G
Then space - space began to toll

F                               C
As all the heavens were a bell
F                               C
And Being but an ear
F                                       C
And I, and silence, some strange race
D7                      F
Wrecked, solitary, here


F                               C
And then a plank in reason broke
F                               C
And I dropped down, and down
F                               C
And hit a world at every plunge
D7                              F
And finished knowing, then
F/F#
And finished knowing

A7                        A7
And then I heard them lift a box
Dm                   G
And creak across my soul
            C
With those same boots of lead, again
      A7       Dm            G
Then space - space began to toll


F                C
I felt a funeral in my brain
F                      C
And mourners to and fro
F                              C
Treading - treading - 'til it seemed
D7                         F
That sense was breaking through
