Legend

Em                     G         
I heard the song birds singing in
     D              Em
 the trees above my bed
C        B/C         Am     G   
In the valley of the shadow of 
   F#/G          Em
the sea of living dead
Em                G              
I see the same old smells aboard 
   D
my ship of shapelessness
Em
Meandering suspended in amorphous 
tastelessness


[Verse 2]
Em               G               
I hear the happy people striking 
D                    Em
down their matchless road
C       B/C             Am      
The false teeth and the cologne 
G         F#/G          Em
partly sharing half the load
Em               G               
I know I cannot ask them so I 
   D
leave their eyes to say
Em
I know the way to Mount Street, but 
I just don't know the way

[Verse 3]
Em               G                
I see the hollow buildings hanging
 D             Em
 in the winter sun
C   B/C        Am      G    
Throwing empty shadows that 
F#/G            Em
hide the hollow men
Em                        G      
The world just isn't real it's 
       D
built on endless timeless time
Em
On land marks in the desert wastes 
of multicoloured crime


[Verse 4]
Em                    G          
The maps stuck in the tube trains
      D                     Em
 will tell you where're you going
C           B/C       Am         
They'll also tell you pratically 
G         F#/G   Em
everything worth knowing
Em            G               D
So if anybody asks me I'd say "take 
a few salt sodas"
Em
If you don't you stand the dirty 
chance of dying stone cold sober


[Verse 5]
Em                G              
And as I hear you breathing 
       D             Em
life's last distant compliment
C       B/C         Am        G
I know I can't have said much 
      F#/G      Em
of what I really meant
Em                    G           
The sky dissolves the sky and the 
 D
snowflakes face to face
Em
And everything is just everything 
because everything just is
