F#F#             BB
  Close your eyes and you draw one more day to a close
  A augmentedA
You choose to be alone
  BB              F#F#
You float through your life as a ghost
  F#F#
And everything heals given time
  BB
And everything dies given time
    A augmentedA          BB             F#F#
And the scars run together, mixing the nerves with the blood
    BB                        F#F#
And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down
   BB                      F#F#
And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground
     A augmentedA
When your heart's deep and dark as a well
  BB              C#C#      F#F#
And everything that's golden and green goes to hell

     F#F#
And I was born to wind in the cradle
   BB
And I ride on the hot southern breeze
   A augmentedA             BB
and I twist in the green and the gold
             A augmentedA      BB     F#F#
and you see and there is blood on my elbows and knees
  F#F#
And people want to grow old in the cradle
       BB
When there's snakes all around in the reeds
    A augmentedA          BB
And you ask me to fear of no evil
     A augmentedA     BB    F#F#
When your fire's all over my feet
    BB                        F#F#
And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down
  BB                       F#F#
And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground
     A augmentedA
When your heart's deep and dark as a well
  BB              C#C#
And everything that's golden and green goes to hell

    F#F#
I said bring out your Vivian girls
BB
Bring out your cloud-covered girls
  A augmentedA           BB
and bring me a cup of your tears
  A augmentedA      BB      F#F#
and give me the rest of your years
    F#F#
Because everything dies, given time
   BB
And I know that this world could be mine
   A augmentedA             BB
So I closed both my eyes and I count my heartbeats
   A augmentedA      BB      F#F#
and I know that my wings are on fire
    BB                        F#F#
And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down
  BB                       F#F#
And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground
     A augmentedA
When your heart's deep and dark as a well
  BB              C#C#
And everything that's golden and green goes to hell

*When going to the F#F# throughout the song ad lib hammer-ons from the E MajorE to F#F# bass note
your power chords --- just listen to the song

The higher pitched instrument throughout the song is a mandolin ... just hang around F#F#
your upper register to duplicate ... on the break in between vocal lines it's generally
