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

                   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
