The Tide Falls Away

INTRO: Am  Am7 Am F

Am                    Am7         
I walked a spiralling village one 
F
night
Em                     G         
Drawn by the word of a bell or a 
F
light
G                        E7       
Out on the flats, saw it rose to a
 Am     Am7
 spire
            Am    F      C       
All becomes clear as the tide 
    Am
falls away


Am                      Am7
Parent and child and an ocean 
     F
between
Em                       G        
One is not heard and the other not 
 F
seen
G                     E7         
Too many bottles, but each had a 
          Am     Am7
message inside

            Am    F      C       
All becomes clear as the tide 
    Am   Am7
falls away
            Am    F      C       
All becomes clear as the tide 
    Am
falls away


INTERLUDE: Am  Am7  F  Em  G  F

G                     E7
Lucky we are when the stars leave us
 singing
  Am                       F      
A hymn or a dirge when the surge 
               C
of the ocean is gone
  F
Is gone


INTERLUDE: Am  Am7 Am F


Am                     Am7       
And the old woman just stares at 
    F
her hands
Em                  G           F
So many heroes have crumbled to sand
G                         E7     
All those cathedrals were merely 
   Am    Am7
by men
            Am    F      C       
All becomes clear as the tide 
    Am
falls away
                  F      C        
All becomes clear as the tide 
   Am   Am7
falls away
           F
All falls away
