Instrumental:
E minorEm A minorAm B7B7 E minorEm
Intro:
E minorEm
Through crooked teeth and mouthed up ties
A minorAm
They spit you up river just like all those lions
B7B7 E minorEm
That walked the banks
Verse 1:
E minorEm A minorAm
They said, "Paint me that river
B7B7 E minorEm
And would you only use blues?
E minorEm
Brilliant big black mouth
A minorAm B7B7
Lengths of pines that route the river through
E minorEm
Through and through"
Chorus:
E minorEm A minorAm
Fashion, fashion ballrooms of the leaves
B7B7
We'd like to watch the ghosts dance
E minorEm
We'd like to watch the ghosts dance
Verse 2:
E minorEm A minorAm
"Paint me that arm
B7B7
That lies directly over mountains
E minorEm
Where the glaciers climb so tall
E minorEm A minorAm
One absent of the scars, passing boats and ships and oars
B7B7 E minorEm
Tend to leave, the veins will be the tributaries
N.C. N.C. N.C. N.C.
With all the sounds of the ocean, the ocean"
Chorus:
E minorEm A minorAm
Fashion, fashion ballrooms of the leaves
B7B7
We'd like to watch the ghosts dance
E minorEm
We'd like to watch the ghosts dance
E minorEm A minorAm
Fashion, fashion ballrooms of the leaves
B7B7
We'd like to watch the ghosts dance
E minorEm
We'd like to watch the ghosts dance
