Intro:

C Dm C Dm

Verse :
    Dm      Dm
Empty promises I’ve given
    C         Dm
Hollow heart beats in my chest
      G        Dm
And every word of sterling silver
        C  G         Dm
Stirred butterfliiiies beneath your breast




Verse :
     Dm
Still untouched by ties a-binding
    C           Dm
Goin’ where the Gulf breeze blows
      G        Dm
No ring of gold around your finger
      C   G       Dm
No ring of brass run through my nose


Chorus:
C         Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey
 C        Dm
Still coming up like a rose

          F
Dead still in the garden
 C          Dm
Waiting for the reveille

   C       Dm        C       Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

             F          C     G   Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me




Verse :
     Dm
Hear the song she sang in darkness
     C         Dm
Tearful, fair, and free and fine
      G       Dm
You’re the one she softly whispers
   C  G     Dm
My canaaaary in the mine


Chorus:
C         Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey
 C        Dm
Still coming up like a rose

          F
Dead still in the garden
 C          Dm
Waiting for the reveille

   C       Dm        C       Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

             F          C     G   Dm Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me

Verse :
    Dm          Dm
I met a man, pale gray with wisdom
     C         Dm
Told me faith will come collect
        G         Dm
Hard tempered steel bites at my ankles
       C  G      Dm
Soft cotton rove burns at my neck


Chorus:
C         Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey
 C        Dm
Still coming up like a rose

Dead still in the garden
 C          Dm
Waiting for the reveille

The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes

That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
