Strawbs - Face Down In The Well


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[Intro]
Am Dm C G F G Am (2x)

[Verse 1]

The countryside was out of sight
F Am
The sky was acid blue
G Em F
The saplings were beside themselves
Dm G
The storm had passed on through
Am
The trees were dressed in racing silk
F Am
A vibrant grass-snake green
G Em F
With maidens clutching violets
G Am
In many shades between


[Chorus]
E7 Am
But somewhere in the distance
Dm Am
I could hear the tolling bell
E7 Am
I saw myself reflecting back
E7 Am
Face down in the well


[Instrumental]
Am Dm C G F G Am


[Verse 2]

The tolling bell reminded me
F Am
Of someone I had lost
G Em F
I could not quite remember who
Dm G
Or what had been the cost
Am
Naked from the waist up
F Am
Naked upside down
G Em F
No matter how you break your fall
G Am
You sure as hell will drown


[Verse 3]

The hounds from hell were howling
F Am
For the many wasted years
G Em F
While every sin was washed away
Dm G
With semi-precious tears
Am
Some said it was suicide
F Am
Others first degree
G Em F
No matter what the paradox
G Am
Was somehow lost on me


[Chorus]
E7 Am
But somewhere in the distance
Dm Am
I could hear the tolling bell
E7 Am
I saw myself reflecting back
E7 Am
Face down in the well


[Instrumental]
Am Dm C G F G Am (2x)


[Verse 4]
Am
The courage of a patient man
F Am
Is measured in his pace
G Em F
Some may take the higher ground
Dm G
Others run the race
Am
Some folks do the dandy strut
F Am
And trade as ne'er do well
G Em F
But I have always pleased myself
G Am
That is why I fell


[Chorus]
E7 Am
Somewhere in the distance
Dm Am
I could hear the tolling bell
E7 Am
I saw myself reflecting back
E7 Am
Face down in the well


[Chorus]
E7 Am
Somewhere in the distance
Dm Am
I could hear the rebel yell
E7 Am
I saw myself reflecting back
E7 Am
Face down in the well


[Outro]
Am Dm C G F G Am
