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
