Loom Of The Land chords by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
            E minorEm
It was the dirty end of winter
            G+G
Along the loom of the land
               D MajorD   C majorC
When I walked with sweet Sally
     E minorEm
Hand upon hand
          E minorEm
And the wind it bit bitter
        G+G
For a boy of no means
            D MajorD    C majorC
With no shoes on his feet
          E minorEm
And a knife in his jeans
           E minorEm
Along the loom of the land
         G+G
The mission bells pealed
              D MajorD  C majorC
From the tower at Saint Mary's
         E minorEm
Down to Reprobate Fields
          E minorEm
And I saw that the world
          G+G
Was all blessed and bright
          D MajorD
And Sally breathed softly
        C majorC
In the majestic night


Chorus:
       D MajorD
O baby please don't cry
      E minorEm
And try to keep
      D MajorD      C majorC
Your little hand upon my shoulder
     E minorEm
Now go to sleep


Verse 2:
         E minorEm
The elms and the poplars
          G+G
Were turning their backs
          D MajorD    C majorC
Past the rumbling station
        E minorEm
We followed the tracks
           E minorEm
We found an untrodden path
        G+G
And followed it down
        D MajorD    C majorC
The moon in the sky
         E minorEm
Like a dislodged crown
       E minorEm
My hands they burned
          G+G
In the folds of her coat
            D MajorD    C majorC
Breathing milky white air
         E minorEm
From deep in her throat

Chorus:
          D MajorD
O baby please don't cry
      E minorEm
And try to keep
      D MajorD       C majorC
Your little head upon my shoulder
     E minorEm
Now go to sleep


Verse 3:
E minorEm
I told Sally in whispers
G+G
I'll never bring you harm
D MajorD         C majorC
Her breast it was small
        E minorEm
And warm in my palm
        E minorEm
I told her the moon
       G+G
Was a magical thing
             D MajorD     C majorC
That it shone gold in winter
       E minorEm
And silver in spring
         E minorEm
And we walked and walked
          G+G
Across the endless sands
          D MajorD   C majorC
Just me and my Sally
           E minorEm
Along the loom of the land


Chorus: (x2)
          D MajorD
O baby please don't cry
      E minorEm
And try to keep
      D MajorD      C majorC
Your little head upon my shoulder
      E minorEm
Now try to sleep
          D MajorD
O baby please don't cry
      E minorEm
And don't you weep
      D MajorD      C majorC
Lay your head upon my shoulder
      E minorEm
