E F#m

♫ Verse 1:
E                    F#m
Long time coming to take my hand away
E                      F#m
She says nothing could take the pain away
E                  F#m
Something about discussions in the cave
E                 F#m
Something about a dream that can't be saved

B            F#m        E              A
 And all the easy faces running out of happy places
G            G/F#  E
Gone to the academy
B              F#m        E               A
 And plug each sonic lyre into the Navajo amplifier
    G     G/F#     E   F#m
For us to hear and see

♫ Interlude:
E F#m

♫ Verse 2:
E               F#m
Little star went rolling up the hill
E                    F#m
Asked me to come and dance, I said, "I will"
E                     F#m
These are the days of preparation still
E                     F#m
Something is going to happen on that hill

♫ Chorus:
B            F#m        E              A
 And all the easy faces running out of happy places
G            G/F#  E
Gone to the academy
B              F#m        E               A
 And plug each sonic lyre into the Navajo amplifier
    G     G/F#     E
For us to hear and see
B            F#m             E           A
 And all the summoned graces manifest in different places
G          G/F#  E
There for us to see
B            F#m                 E          A
 And little star keeps saying, "Indian was angel praying
G        G/F#   E
Calm and patiently
    G  G/F#    E
For us also in wheat
    G      G/F#      E
And save a place for me"
