🎸 Verse 1:
A#m      F         Db          C            A#m
I met a Moko man   from the other side
           F               Db          C                A#m
The room began to capsize   as he was telling me his tales
          F                 Db
All my beliefs and best belongings
            C                    A#m
were flying useless through the air
          F               Db              C
When they all were lost
then we were brothers

🎸 Verse 2:
A#m     F                 Db               C                 A#m
By the wheel the teller stands, shaking numbers from his hands
            F              Db                C
His face is masked and his coat tails are waving
           A#m        F                     Db
He cries - "Round and round and round She goes
          C             A#m
Where She lands nobody knows
          F               Db          C
But, hey, thank you for asking"


Ab                     F#            F        D#
The prayer flags are flying in the wind
Ab                     F#            F        D#
The prayer flags are flying in the wind
Ab                     F#            F        D#
The prayer flags are flying in the wind

🎸 Verse 3:
A#m      F                Db         C            A#m
By the last days of winter just a few of us remained
           F          Db                C            A#m
We built a fire of remembrance on the frozen land
           F                 Db               C                 A#m
And as the sparks flew up into the night to dance around the stars
  F               Db                   C
Beneath our very feet the ground was shifting


Ab                     F#            F        D#
The prayer flags are flying in the wind
Ab                     F#               F
The prayer wheels are spinning in the wi----nd

🎸 Bridge:
              Db                    F
And there she blows   our time is gone
                      Db                        F
And in the womb a new head is beginning now to turn
                      Db                          F
Beyond these Carnival lights there is nothing at all
                 Db                       F   F   Db   C   A#m  F   Db   C
Just the distant screams and the endless fa-----------ll

🎸 Verse 4:
A#m        F                  Db       C           A#m
G  single drop of rain falls   on my windscreen
             F            Db            C         A#m
We're closer to the very edge than we realise
            F              Db              C
The bridges all have been washed away or bombed out
        A#m         F         Db          C
And the water runs fast and black and cold


Ab                    F#             F                           D#             Ab
The prayer flags are flying in the wind (The prayer flags are flying in the wind)

The prayer flags are flying in the wind (The prayer flags are flying in the wind)
                      F#               F                             D#               Ab
The prayer wheels are spinning in the wind (The prayer wheels are spinning in the wind)
                      F#               F
The prayer flags are flying in the wi------nd
