A      D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
  As I lay my burden down
A      D  Dmaj7  D  Dmaj7
 In the cradle of an elegy
A       D  Dmaj7  D   Dmaj7    G
 In the shotgun shape of this life
F#                       Bm         G F# Bm G F# 
  I'm happy happy in the sorrow key

[Verse 1]
Bm                  G
 Hadrian's wall was mighty
A                 
 Not so mighty it didn't fall
Bm                  G
I roamed among its sod and stone
    A
To wonder how we come apart
    F#m                Bm 
The earth it holds the human toll
    Em7                 A
The heavens bow to the gravity
    Bm                 G
The bursting heart the bleeding brain
   A
In grief we shift tectonically

[Chorus]
A      D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
  As I lay my burden down
A      D  Dmaj7  D  Dmaj7
 In the cradle of an elegy
A       D  Dmaj7  D   Dmaj7    G
 In the shotgun shape of this life
F#                       Bm         G F# Bm G F# 
  I'm happy happy in the sorrow key

[Verse 2]
Bm                  G
Three days moored in Singapore
A
The ancient lure of currency
Bm                  G
The rain came down the trade winds blew
A
And held me anchored to my dues
F#m                Bm 
Slumbering I felt a tug
Em7               A
I ran to little India
    Bm                G
To find a beggar's clarity
A                           A A D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
And eat the spice of deities

[Bridge]
D
When I close my eyes
           G
Imagine us dead and gone
                    Em
The bright light of kingdom come
            A
But I can't see
D
Take it out of my hands
          G
I want to know the truth
               Em
The eye of the eagle
           A
To deliver me
     G           F#     
I'm happy in the sorrow
