Mark Erelli - Evening's Curtain


CAPO: 2nd fret



Verse 1:
   D MajorD       G+G         D MajorD
It's written of in papers, books and magazines
        G+G       D MajorD
For centuries adventurers set sail
            G+G          D MajorD
In schooners, clippers, sloops and brigs and barque tines
A augmentedA         G+G      D MajorD
O'er the deep blue ocean to prevail

Verse 2:
         G+G        D MajorD
Believing their dominion o'er the great salt sea
             G+G        D MajorD
They'd snare the fish and smite the mighty whale
           G+G         D MajorD
But for every man who lived to boast his victory
 A augmentedA         G+G        D MajorD
A augmentedA score or more were thwarted by the gale


Chorus:
  C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
As evenings curtain falls upon me like a shroud
  C majorC         G+G      D MajorD
I'm thinking of their cold eternal sleep
 C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
Beneath the waves far too many souls to count
A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
Lost out in the darkness on the deep


Verse 3:
           G+G        D MajorD
There always will be men who sail the ocean blue
           G+G       D MajorD
But the romance is a thing of history
           G+G         D MajorD
In these hard times a man just does what he has to
  A augmentedA       G+G      D MajorD
Providing for his wife and family


Verse 4:
         G+G        D MajorD
Not long ago just off the coast of Provincetown
             G+G            D MajorD
They found a radio beacon bobbing in a field of debris
          G+G        D MajorD
Three days they did search but they never found
  A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
The crew who worked aboard the Candy BB


Chorus:
  C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
As evenings curtain falls upon me like a shroud
  C majorC         G+G      D MajorD
I'm thinking of their cold eternal sleep
 C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
Beneath the waves far too many souls to count
A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
Lost out in the darkness on the deep
