INTRO

(Em Cmaj7 D C) x2

VERSE 1

Em            Cmaj7
They settled dust in your hair
  D          C
To watch you shake and shout it out.
Em         Cmaj7
With our armaments bared
  D         C
We shed our bags and travel-alls.

Em Cmaj7 D C

VERSE 2

Em         Cmaj7
From the lee of the wall
  D             C
He comes in the change and the chariot
Em           Cmaj7
And all his eunuchs in thrall
  D            C
Can scarce lift his line and lariat.

CHORUS

B
Here come loose the hounds
  A
To blow me down.
      (E A) x3
Blow me down.
B
On this stretch of ground
   A
I'll lay me down.
      Ab
Lay me down.
     F#
To sleep.
(Em Cmaj7 D C) x2

VERSE 3

Em          Cmaj7
And now stricken with pangs
   D           C
That tear at our backs like thistle down
Em            Cmaj7
The mirror's soft silver tain
 D          C
Reflects our last and birthing hour

CHORUS

B
Here come loose the hounds
  A
To blow me down.
      E A E A
Blow me down.
B
On this stretch of ground
   A
I'll lay me down.
      Ab
Lay me down.

CHORUS

B
Here come loose the hounds
  A
To blow me down.
      E A E A
Blow me down.
B
On this stretch of ground
   A
I'll lay me down.
      Ab
Lay me down.
     F#
