So Sang The Hollow

Em B C D
Am C Am D
Em B C G Am C Am D


[Verse 1]
  Em                           Gm
The ship left port empty, and empty 
it remained
G    C       Em
So sang the hollow
 Em                             
Like a piece for conversation it 
          Gm
would drift upon the waves
 G    C      Em
So sang the hollow


[Chorus]
Em                                
If you want, I ask them to turn 
       D
off the lights
G                 C         Em
It's easier that way — just don't 
look in their eyes
Continues after the ad
Em                                
There are things in life you need 
     D
to know
  G                  C            
The damage that we'll do will 
    Em
always show

Em B C G Am C Am D


[Verse 2]
 Em                             
The figure stood in darkness and 
   Gm
asked us for our names
 G   C       Em
So sang the hollow
Em                          Gm
One of us was summoned, and one 
arrived too late
G    C       Em
So sang the hollow


[Chorus]
Em                                
If you want, I ask them to turn 
      D
off the lights
G                 C     Em
It's еasier that way — just don't 
look in their eyеs
Em                                
There are things in life you need 
     D
to know
 G                    C           
The damage that we'll do will 
      Em
always show
