Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A beautiful bittersweet song from an immensely talented songwriter. but if
you're reading this, you probably know that already!
The Aadd9 chord I use is made using the E shape on 6th Fret, with no bar.
If you find it easier you can just use A. But I think the Aadd9 sounds closer
to the recording. :)
E
Somewhere there’s a country you remember from your youth
E
On the surface of this country is the one they built on top of it.
Aadd9
The Highway leads to everything,
E
Except for what they buried underneath it.
Aadd9
There is a country made of telegrams and tailcoats,
E
and nobody to grieve it.
E
But when the sun is getting lower then the highway marks the graves,
E Aadd9
And the tail-lights, they circle like the roses of an infinite bouquet,
E Aadd9
And everybody leaves tail-lights for the grey,
E
Ghosts of railways and candleholders.
Aadd9 E
And oh oh oh oh oooooo, ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo,
Aadd9
There’s been an accident a mile away from here,
E
I heard the sound of sirens,
Aadd9
And they turned back again and as they disappeared,
E
I saw a trail behind them.
F#m C#m F#m c#m
You say the wind is up, it’s out collecting lives,
F#m C#m F#m c#m
You say the wind is up, it’s out collecting lives,
A B
An exit night,
E
Is coming through,
E
Oh the wind is up, it’s moving like no wind I’ve ever known,
E
And the page that I was reading was the first that had to go,
Aadd9 E
But still I kept on reading like the dead who have a memory of living,
Aadd9
Because the wind is here to take the thing,
E
I don’t think I am ready to be giving,
Aadd9
And Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thy Juliette?
Aadd9
She flew up with the table out the window,
E
Now she’s mixing with the dead.
Aadd9
Oh won’t you make her go away I am not ready for her yet,
Add9 E
Oh make her go away, I am not ready, I’m not ready for her yet.
F#m C#m F#m c#m
And now the wind is up, it’s out collecting lives,
F#m C#m F#m c#m
You say the wind is up, it’s out collecting lives,
Aadd9 B E
An exit night is coming true,
Aadd9 E
An exit night, is coming through,
Aadd9 E
Exit night, has come for you,
F#m
Oh exit light,
B
exit moon,
F#m B
Tell me why
E
Why so soon?
Aadd9 E
I don’t know.
Aadd9 E
I don’t know.
Aadd9
Oooooo ooooo.
E
Ooooo ooooo.
(Fingerpicked outro)
E
And o,
Aadd9
Go to sleep,
E
Tomorrow,
The day,
C#m
Would be,
F#m B E
I will read to your memory,
E
Fly away,
Aadd9
There’s no need
E
To worry,
C#m F#m B E
I will read, into your memory,
E
Leave your brain.
