Eliza Gilkyson - Land Of Skin And Sorrow




INTRO: Em    D  Em


In the land of skin and sorrow
       D                Em
Lies a heart as pure as gold

Who is waiting for the last ones
        D             Em
To come back into the fold

          D           Em
Some will wander in today
          D            Em
Some hold back until tomorrow

But the door will soon be closing
       D                Em
In the land of skin and sorrow


INTERLUDE: D   Em   D   Em



Climbing out is never easy
        D               Em
On this ladder, rung by rung

Swinging wildly in the breezes
       D               Em
Souls emerging, one by one


      D            Em
As it was in the beginning
         D          Em
It shall be again tomorrow

While the lamp of love still burns here
       D                Em
In the land of skin and sorrow


INSTRUMENTAL: Em    D  Em    D  Em


          D
Beasts of burden (beasts of burden)
          Em
Beasts of prey (beasts of prey)
         D
Will lay down (will lay down)
               Em
Their coats of clay

We must return all that we borrowed
         D                Em
From the land of skin and sorrow


OUTRO:   (## fade to end ##)
Em            D                Em          D  Em     D  Em     D  Em
       In the land of skin and sorrow
