Verse 1:

Eb MajorEb              AbAb   Eb MajorEb
All your brambles, all your creeping vines
Eb MajorEb              AbAb   F minorFm
All of the trash that people leave behind
     AbAb     Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb       AbAb
All your fine, fine columns poking up through the pond scum
       AbAb       Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
We will have uses for these things when we come

Verse 2:

Eb MajorEb               AbAb      Eb MajorEb
Cracks in the marble you hauled in from the quarry
Eb MajorEb              AbAb     F minorFm
These will be seen by all in all their glory
AbAb      Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb  AbAb
Long hidden shadows of the places they came from
        AbAb         Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
We will bring memories of these things when we come


Bridge:

F#F# Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb    AbAb
  All your abandoned things
DbDb           Eb MajorEb
Once fine vestments, statues with wings
F#F# Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb     AbAb
  They have their uses, every one
AbAb       Bb majorBb
Let me slither across them in the sun


Verse 3:

Eb MajorEb             AbAb        Eb MajorEb
Pale imitations that you brought back from afar
Eb MajorEb    AbAb           F minorFm
We will show them to you as they are
AbAb        Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb AbAb
Wind through the ruins, high and lonesome
       AbAb       Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
We will have uses for these things when we come
