Dm C F1 Dm
As you lie before me now, like a shadow
C Dm
On a pea green sea
F1 Dm
Never thought that I could find you so hollow
C Dm
Laying into me


F2 E
But this cup of wine
Am G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D* F2
A sorrow so
E Am G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D* F2
But I don't know
E Am
I've got nothing to hold on to


Dm C F1 Dm
Wished for gold so I could buy you a palace
C Dm
By the riverside
F1 Dm
You'd come in and I would fill your diamond chalice
C Dm
You were still alive


F2 E
But this cup of wine
Am G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D* F2
A sorrow so
E Am G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D* F2
But I don't know
E Am G1 D* F2
I've got nothing to hold on to
E Am
I've got nothing to hold on to


Am | F2 | G1 | Am
Am | F2 | G2 | G# | Am


F2 G1 Am
Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?
F2 G2 G# Am
Was the water everywhere?
F2 G1 Am
Were you fretful, to wade into the room?
F2 G2
I'd been wanting to hear from you
G# Am
Oh, no


F2 | G2 | F2 | C (Same timing as G2 > G# > Am)


C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (oh)
F2
You're weary, lay him down
G1
You did your time so thank you very much
C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (oh)
F2 G2
So now your hopes are all laid
G# Am
But you hand it all away


Am | F2 | G1 | Am
Am | F2 | G2 | G# | Am


Am F2 G1 Am
Did his eyelids fix on empty chairs
F2 G2 G# Am
You had traveled to lay beside?
F2 G1 Am
A gentle torture to watch it all recede
F2 G2 G# Am F2
And all the while your mother slept beside him
G2 F2 C
Oh, no


C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (oh)
F2
You're weary, lay him down
G1
You did your time so thank you very much
C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (oh)
F2 G2
So now your hopes are all laid
G# Am
But you hand it all away


Am | F2 | G1 | Am
Am | F2 | G2 | G# | Am


F2 G1 Am
Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?
F2 G2 G# Am
Was the water everywhere?
F2 G1 Am
Were you fearful, and long to run away
F2 G2
From the cold clasp of Illinois?
G# Am
Oh, no
F2 G2 F2
Oh, No


C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (ooooooh)
F2
You're weary, lay him down
G1
You did your time so thank you very much
C
Hand it over (hand it over)
Am
Hand it over (oh)
F2 G2
So now your hopes are all laid
G# Am F2 G2
But you hand it all away
G# Am
But you hand it all away
F2 G2 G# C
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh


Am | F2 | G1 | C
