Strange Is The Man

Am Fm F


[Verse 1]
Fm          Am
Fast to the edge
             Dm
Close to the south
      G            G7
The remains of the sky
               C
Are woven into shrouds
Am         Am
Broken and wild
            Dm
Charcoal in black
    G
The promise of rain
                  C
Is swollen in the clouds


[Chorus]
F             Dm
Strange is the man
G           C
free in his heart
F             Dm
Strange is the man
G            Am
unchained at last


[Verse 2]
Fm           Am
Clear is the sap
          Dm
Under the bark
    G            G7
Carried from the root
             C
It opens the bud
Am          Am
Dry is the tongue
               Dm
Cracked at the mouth
   G             G7
He trembles in thanks
                     C
As he drinks from the cup


[Chorus]
F             Dm
Strange is the man
G           C
free in his heart
F             Dm
Strange is the man
G            Am
unchained at last

[Verse 3]
Bm          Bm
Over at the seam
           Em
Red to the vein
  A7
He's whispering soft
                     D
All the names of the dead
Bm           Bm
Laughing to himself
            Em
Unbound and set
 A7
Now the wind is his pillow
                      D
And the skies are his bed


[Chorus]
G             Em
Strange is the man
A           D
free in his heart
G             Em
Strange is the man
A            Bm
unchained at last
