A

[Verse 1]
   A           E         Bm       F#m
We dig for the gods that leave no bones
        D                       A      E
For the ship that sailed in the sunken sea
    Bm     A           E       F#m
The vessel lost in the sky and stones
    A                    E         D
The famine road, and the merchants keep

[Verse 2]
A                    E        F#m
Come and search for, we would search
    A             E
And looking for a scarred land
A              E       F#m
Turn the soil, weave a dream
A                 E
Thread the river, ring the sand
    D
And dig for those whose stories lie
     A                E
With buried paths and futures won
    D
And dig for us as we have done
   A                E      F#m
To lay the dead out in the sun
   A               E      A
To lay us dead out in the sun

[Verse 3]
A         E        Bm           F#m
Coins for eyes and keys for the door
D                      A         E
Fortress, grave goods, chambered tomb
 Bm       A         E         F#m
Abandoned villages, rumors of war
   A                E        D
We dig for pattern, read the rue

[Verse 4]
    A            E   F#m
And so a clue to who are
    A                 E
And where we were and why we will
  A           E         F#m
Inheritors of knowledge now
    A            E
And ancestors to those who still might
D
Dig for those whose stories lie
     A                E
With buried paths and futures won
    D
And dig for us as we have done
   A                E      F#m
To lay the dead out in the sun
   A               E      A
To lay us dead out in the sun
