Chords with lyrics
Verse:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Ravens have flown from tower and parapet
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
My mother below, shouting out epithets
F# minorF#m G+G
I would risk a branch's snap
F# minorF#m G+G
And I would leap the widest gap
F# minorF#m A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
Just to see the world laid out like a map
E minorEm A augmentedA B minorBm
I didn't know a thing until I fell
E minorEm A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Far enough to see their seven hells
Chorus:
B minorBm A augmentedA
And if I didn't die
B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I surely set the clock to ticking
G+G B minorBm
Summer child, who couldn't know
B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G
What song they all were singing
Verse:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Stories they told, where the names were songs
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
But different down south, they get the words all wrong
F# minorF#m G+G
I could look deeper still
F# minorF#m G+G
Wonder why blood was spilled
F# minorF#m A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
All along was I meant to build?
E minorEm A augmentedA B minorBm
In my dreams, I saw it all
E minorEm A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Scrawled across a cannonball
Chorus:
B minorBm A augmentedA
And if I didn't die
B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I surely set the clock to ticking
G+G B minorBm
Summer child, who couldn't know
B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G
What song they all were singing
Bridge:
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
Is this falling, is this flight?
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA C majorC
Must it be from a great height?
D MajorD A augmentedA
Will we sing that sweet reprise
D MajorD G+G
Will I see through different eyes
F# minorF#m G+G B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Oh will I grow old and wise?

Bridge 2:
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Is it true that summer's over?
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
I thought this would go much slower
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Can't you feel the weirwoods weeping?
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Where the past was always sleeping
Solo:
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G (x8)
Chorus 2:
G+G D MajorD
Sometimes you'll dream of home
G+G B minorBm A augmentedA
And you'll look to all of your idols
G+G D MajorD
But we all are grey
G+G B minorBm A augmentedA
We can do great good or great evil
G+G D MajorD
And all of those you've loved
G+G B minorBm A augmentedA
In the dust, they will be waiting
G+G D MajorD
To teach you where to go
G+G B minorBm A augmentedA
When the future's accelerating
Bridge:
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
What will chase the cold away?
F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA C majorC
Is it games that rich men play?
D MajorD A augmentedA
Will we sing that sweet reprise
D MajorD G+G
Will I see it for the trees?
F# minorF#m G+G B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Strength lies in the darkest roots
E minorEm A augmentedA B minorBm
And not every story is true
E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
Not every story is true
