Heaven Bound & Glory Be
Capo 3
the picking of the first C is in strings: A-B-G then A-D-G
intro: C
C F
A reporter in a jailroom, whispering her source to a dying bulb
G
While the prince is in a fable, peaceful in his cradle,
Am G F
convinced of the impossible:
Dm G C
All those wicked words I used to build my wild Western
F
truth
Dm G C
I was just following the rules. Yeah, I did what I had to
F
do.
Dm C G
So now its later than it needs to be
Em Am G
And in the dulcet tones of dream
F
The prince atop his chariot,
G
Heaven bound & glory be.
C F
A mother in a market chases after children that she barely knows
G
While the father on the barstool, dropped off by his
Am G F
carpool, is playing a familiar role:
Dm G C
I used to be a conquering king. I watched the slow stars
F
shoot & swing.
Dm G C
When I'd wake, the world would sing. Now, I can't hear
F
anything.
Dm G
So now its later than it needs to be
Em Am G
And while his stranger family sleeps
F
The king looks for his castle,
G
Heaven bound & glory be.
F G
There's a myth we must've made
C Am
One we're spreading every day
F G
In every dying dream we grieve
C G Am
The humming hole we fight & feed
F
It's the loving lives we long for
G
Heaven bound & glory be
C
A man in a hotel room, tangled to his teeth by the
F
telephone
G
He's waiting on a woman, wondering what she's doing, and
Am G F
pacing so his pulse won't slow.
Dm G C
He drums his legs and pulls his hair; he carves her dimples
F
in the air.
Dm G C
The raging world has spooked him scared, and he don't want
F
her lost out there.
Dm C G
So now it's later than it needs to be
Em Am G
And though his aching eyes want sleep
Dm C G
Against all rationality
Em Am G
Against everything he believes
F
He prays for her protection,
G Am
Heaven bound & glory be.
F
He prays for her protection,
G Am
Heaven bound & gloooooooooory beeeeeeee. Ohhh
F G C
And I pray for your protection, heaven bound and glory be
Heaven Bound & Glory Be
