Verse 1
(A minor) In the (C major) land of the (A minor) etern
(F major) al night (C major) -time
There's a (G major) single lamp
(A minor) post on a (F major) far -off (G major) hill
The (C major) people of (A minor) the sea,
if (F major) they're on the shad (C major) ows,
grow (G major) out of their feet
(A minor) and are (F major) with them still. (C major)
While the trees outside (A minor) tap
(F major) dance in our windows, (C major)
while (G major) our ancestor (A minor) s all
(F major) roll in their graves, (G major)
She throws out four (D major) of her old (A minor) dresses
For (F major) everyone she saves (G major)
She says, (D minor) these old things
look better in the (A minor) window
I (D minor) think (F major) I'd much rather (D minor) ima gine (A minor) them
on (F major) someone new (G major) (D major) (F major)
You'd (C major) think the two thing (A minor) s
could just fit (F major) together (C major)
You'd think that (G major) wanting for noth (A minor) ing
is (F major) not a crime
(G major) I (C major) feel like whist (A minor) ling but
I can (F major) 't stop smiling
(C major) It's im (G major) possible to do (A minor) them
both (F major) at the same time (C major)
So let's take the great novels
(A minor) and tear (F major) out their last pages
(C major) And then (G major) read each other's faces
(A minor) like they're (F major) written in Braille
(G major) Turn (F major) all the (D minor) air (D major) that hangs around (A minor) us
To the (F major) wind in our sail (G major)
An (C major) d I'm... (A minor) (F major) (C major) (G major)
(A minor) (F major) (G major) (C major) (A minor)
An (F major) d I'm... (C major) (G major) (A minor) (F major) (C major) (G major) (F major)
