The Stable Song

C                                      Fmaj7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers
C                          G             Am
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air
C                                 Fmaj7
Come down come down sweet reverence
C              G         Am         Fmaj7
Unto my simple house and ring...and ring

F                  C        Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C                            G  Am
Ring out those ghosts on the ohio
F                   C       Fmaj7
Ring like clear day wedding bells
C                                     G          Am           Fmaj7 C   Fmaj7 C
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...we'll never tell

Em                   Fmaj7        C    Fmaj7 C
Come to me clear and cold on some sea
Em                       Fmaj7        C      Fmaj7 C
Watch the world spinning waves...like machines

C                                Fmaj7
Now i,ve been crazy couldn't you tell?
C                                    G          Am
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell
C                                            Fmaj7
Now i'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table
C                            G             Am     Fmaj7 C
Well and drank and sang, and passed in the stable

( Em  Fmaj7  C  Fmaj7  C )
( Em  Fmaj7  C  Fmaj7  C )

C                              Fmaj7
That tall grass grows high and brown,
C                                  G     Am      Fmaj7
Well i dragged you straight in the muddy ground
C                                Fmaj7
And you sent me back to where i roam.
C                              G     Am     Fmaj7 C      Fmaj7 C
Well i cursed and i cried, but now i know...now i know

C                             Fmaj7
And i ran back to that hollow again
C                          G    Am
The moon was just a sliver back then.
C                                      Fmaj7
And i ached for my heart like some tin man
C                              G             Am      Fmaj7    C
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang... oh, it's ringing

Fmaj7            C         Fmaj7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
C                      G           Am
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
Fmaj7              C        Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C                                 G    Am
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
C                                 G    Am
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
