Verse 1:
   Am            G       D/F#
You'd never know that Marrow was
  F              G           C    E7
a glowing place, beautiful, before
Am              G      D/F#    
Her tarnished heart lost its way
    F       D/F#    G  
so long, so long
 
Am            G          D/F#
gone are the colors, the apples and gems
 F          G              C    E7
each hunger answered with more
 Am          G          D/F#
above and below she has rotted away
    F    G     Am   G   Am
so long,   so long
     G           E+
The great market calls
F         Am  
from canopied stalls
F            G            C    E7
but a ghost town is all you will find
      G                 E+
     purses large and small
      F              Am
     gold coins changing palms
          F          G            Esu4  E
     gone paper and ruin and lost time


Verse 2:

 Seventh sons and golden ball daughters

take their own lives to hand

I have been to the city of Marrow
    F            G    Am   G  D/F#  F  
and I have come out again............

La,  la, ti, dah...

Beauty is lost in translation
    Am       G        D/F#   F  
no savoring what is devoured

our glory gone

   Fear not the wind of wasting
          F          G       C    E7
its howling is not for you
          F       G    D/F#
     It's only an echo now within
          F               G             Esu4  E7
the hearts of those just passing through

the hearts of those just passing through

     La,  la, ti, dah...
