Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
Am E
Well the wind went west, she poured my drink,
Fmaj7 C
Stumbled 'neath the stars on home
Am E
Couldn't find no love from the angels above
Fmaj7 C
Nor the devil down below
Am E
Through all the sorrow, I learned to barrow
Fmaj7 C
A song from the blackest crow
Am E
Through the wind and the hail, we fumbled and failed
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G
Steady as we go, steady as we go
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And these amulets falling days
G Am
For you I'd safely, save
Fmaj7 C G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
Am Fmaj7 C G Am
Buried in the waves, buried in the waves
Fmaj7 C
[Verse 2]
Am E
And the hurricane came, and borrowed my name,
Fmaj7 C
Scold when she clipped my wings
Am E
Neither rich nor the poor couldn't find no cure
Fmaj7 C
For these sort of things
Am E
We moved along, like a bed time song,
Fmaj7 C
Quiet and holy and slow
Am E
We tossed our backs, we tightened our straps,
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 E
Steady as we go, steady as we go
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7 C G
Alright, okay, now I know
Am Fmaj7 C G
Here in the hands of the hands that roll the bones
Am G C E
That water, she's high, and the only one who knows
Am E Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
She will swallow us, swallow us, swallow us whole
Fmaj7 Am Em x3
Fmaj7
[Verse 3]
Am E
Well the hills of gold, so haunted now
Fmaj7 C
Found comfort near the firelight
Am E
All the stories we told, turned us cold
Fmaj7 G
Nothing's right
Am E
Now we're lost, we're lost in flame
Fmaj7 C
Made a map from the power lines
Am E
Oh the city down below in the factory smoke
Fmaj7 C
The words shined
Fmaj7 G
Steady as we die
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
And these amulets falling days,
G Am
For you I'd safely, save
Fmaj7 C G
And the love of the girl, she's holding precious pearls,
Am Fmaj7 C G
Buried in the waves, buried in
Fmaj7 Am Em x3
Fmaj7
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7 C G
Alright, okay, now I know
Am Fmaj7 C G
Here in the hands of the hands that roll the bones
Am G C E
And that water she's high, and the only one who knows
Am E Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
Am E Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
Am E Fmaj7 C
She will swallow, swallow, swallow us whole
