Lost my heart on the eastern shore..
 (no guitar)

All alone, here fire's dying..

   Let ring..

All the open E-string notes are palm
 muted.

I wasted half my life, But all I 
ever wanted was a clearer view of 
myself..
I broke my back with all the things 
that I considered, And now there's 
nothing left of it..

Another darkness, another repose, is
 what I yield to thee
Don't fear the veil nor my cold
