Intro:
Am / D7 / G / Em
Am / D7 / G / Em
Verse 1:

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am        D7        G              Fmaj7   C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
   Fmaj7   C
To banner fair
   Fmaj7      G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

Vers 2:

Am          D7         G            Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am        D7                  G    Fmaj7 C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
Fmaj7    C
They do not
Fmaj7     G
Know you anymore

Bridge (while singing "More"):

G / Am / D7 / G / Em
More...
Am / D7 / G / Fmaj7 / C
More...       More...

Chorus:

C    Fmaj7  G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C           Fmaj7  G
How can the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true

Verse 3:

Am     D7       G         Em
In the town one morning I went
Am          D7     G            Fmaj7 C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
Fmaj7   C
I don't see
Fmaj7 G
anybody that dear to me

Chorus:

C    Fmaj7  G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C           Fmaj7 G
How can the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true

Bridge:

G / Am / D7 / G / Em
Am / D7 / G / Em

     Am (once)
Jessie...
C (once)
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself into a demon
C (once)
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself into a demon

Am / D7 / G / Em
