Eliza Gilkyson - Land Of Skin And Sorrow

INTRO: Em D Em

In the land of skin and sorrow
D Em
Lies a heart as pure as gold

Who is waiting for the last ones
D Em
To come back into the fold

D Em
Some will wander in today
D Em
Some hold back until tomorrow

But the door will soon be closing
D Em
In the land of skin and sorrow

INTERLUDE: D Em D Em

Climbing out is never easy
D Em
On this ladder, rung by rung

Swinging wildly in the breezes
D Em
Souls emerging, one by one

D Em
As it was in the beginning
D Em
It shall be again tomorrow

While the lamp of love still burns here
D Em
In the land of skin and sorrow

INSTRUMENTAL: Em D Em D Em

D
Beasts of burden (beasts of burden)
Em
Beasts of prey (beasts of prey)
D
Will lay down (will lay down)
Em
Their coats of clay

We must return all that we borrowed
D Em
From the land of skin and sorrow

OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)
Em D Em D Em D Em D Em
In the land of skin and sorrow
