Candle chords by Peter Hammill

Guitar chords with lyrics


Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
D                  Am
Look at the candle, as it's life is bought,
              Am6 Am7  Am
as the wick just rolls  over  and  dies;
       Dsus4      D
look at the wax-drops as they cease from their goal
    Am       G        D
and the game they were playing loses its joy
    Am        G       D
and the youth which they played in runs away....

Chorus:
D  Am     Em   A
How long will you be gone?

Verse 2:
D                      Am
Flames sucks at air now and its breath comes short
       Am6 Am7   Am
as it wavers to half its size;
       Dsus4   D
vacuum closes in and it attacks the soul.
    Am      G         D
Now the force omnipotent itself is destroyed
    Am      G      D
and for lack of itself it wanes away....

Chorus:
D  Am    Em   A
How long will you be gone?

Verse 3:
D                 Am
So does my mind fly as I fight my thought -
        Am6 Am7 Am
and I lose, for I cannot find:
       Dsus4       D
sent my eyes long miles, they do not know home!
    Am     G          D
For the life I was part of breathes its last
       Am    G        D
and not only life, but hope has gone away....

Chorus:
D  Am    Em   A
How long will you be gone?
D  Am    Em   A
How long will you be gone?
D  Am    Em   A   D
