Chords with lyrics

Intro DmDm

DmDm
Men are made From blood and bone
   C majorC        DmDm
Like metals made from dust
A minorAm
Men are bound to die alone
   G+G         DmDm
Like metals bound to rust

verse 1
DmDm      C majorC         DmDm
Late, late, late night on the hill
   A minorAm             G+G       DmDm
The poet came a knocking on the shamans window sill
DmDm            C majorC    DmDm
Help me my words don't visit anymore
   A minorAm            G+G         DmDm
The shaman he laughed picked a mouse up from the floor

   DmDm              C majorC       DmDm
They sat there in the dark whilst a mooty was prepared
      A minorAm           G+G      DmDm
From the blood of the mouse and an eagles head
DmDm                  C majorC     DmDm
Drink this said the shaman, it will calm you mind
    A minorAm                    G+G        DmDm
I promise the words will flow from you like the rain from the sky

    DmDm            C majorC      DmDm
So the poet he drank, till the glass was bare
   A minorAm           G+G       DmDm
While outside a nightingale sang in the air
 DmDm                C majorC       DmDm
Thank you said the poet, may the gods bless your soul
  A minorAm               G+G        DmDm
He shook the old mans hand, walked out into the cold

DmDm               C majorC        DmDm
Early the next morning as the sun began to rise
  A minorAm            G+G        DmDm
Screams rang out across the old diamond mines
  DmDm         C majorC    DmDm
My lover, My lover, My lover is dead
A minorAm            G+G      DmDm
Next to his wife lay the poet In his bed

DmDm
Men are made From blood and bone
   C majorC        DmDm
Like metals made from dust
A minorAm
Men are bound to die alone
   G+G         DmDm
Like metals bound to rust

verse 2
DmDm                 C majorC       DmDm
After many years past and gone and many tears cried
   A minorAm             G+G       DmDm
Still no one could console the poor old poets bride
DmDm              C majorC      DmDm
For in this life or the next still she implored
   A minorAm             G+G         DmDm
That one of these days she would see her love once more

   DmDm                C majorC       DmDm
Then one day in the winter while the famines took a hold
A minorAm            G+G        DmDm
Into a tavern walked a stranger from the cold
      DmDm              C majorC       DmDm
Said I'm looking for my lover I've been away for many years
   A minorAm       G+G         DmDm
The poets widow was summoned from her tears

     DmDm            C majorC       DmDm
If it's you said the widow then where have you been
   A minorAm              G+G        DmDm
The demons said the stranger they took me from my sleep
    DmDm           C majorC         DmDm
They locked me in a cave put nails through my skull
   A minorAm             G+G        DmDm
I escaped with the help of this lonesome nightingale

    DmDm           C majorC       DmDm
If it's you said the widow then spin me a line
   A minorAm                 G+G        DmDm
The stranger cleared his throat looked deep into her eyes

   DmDm
Said men are made From blood and bone
   C majorC        DmDm
Like metals made from dust
A minorAm
Men are bound to die alone
   G+G         DmDm
Like metals bound to rust

   DmDm          C majorC       DmDm
They drank and they danced late into the night
     A minorAm        G+G       DmDm
But the poets father was not so satisfied
   DmDm            C majorC       DmDm
Next morning the stranger was awoken with a thud
    A minorAm          G+G       DmDm
As the police came to take samples of his blood

  DmDm           C majorC     DmDm
And as the results of the test came in
  A minorAm            G+G       DmDm
The poets father screamed I knew it wasn't him
    DmDm         C majorC        DmDm
Well a lonely executioner sharpened his blade
   A minorAm         G+G      DmDm
From doing god's work a living he made

   DmDm              C majorC       DmDm
And just before he raised his axe up too the birds
    A minorAm             G+G      DmDm
He asked the stranger do you have any last words

Bridge
    A minorAm     G+G        DmDm
And the shaman he smiles up on the hill
   A minorAm      G+G      DmDm
His promise to the poet was fulfilled
     A minorAm     G+G      DmDm
And the widow she cries to the moon
     A minorAm     G+G       DmDm
And the nightingale sang her last tune

   DmDm
Said men are made From blood and bone
   C majorC        DmDm
Like metals made from dust
A minorAm
Men are bound to die alone
   G+G         DmDm
Like metals bound to rust

DmDm
Men are made From blood and bone
   C majorC        DmDm
Like metals made from dust
A minorAm
Men are bound to die alone
   G+G         DmDm
Like metals bound to rust
