Capo 3

[Intro]
G F Em Em Em

[Verse]
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Finding fossils on the hillside
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 A
While the sun strikes him down to his knees
C/G G F Em Em
Where his great grandfather’s sweat Swallowed up left for dust

[Verse]
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Just to escape push the pain to right
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Sketches a wave in the soil
C/G G F
One drop on his dry, dry lips
G D C/G C/G
Before he goes inflamed and insane

[Chorus]
G D Am C/G
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G D Am C/G
Dreams about swimming, And the moon brings him back
G D Am C/G
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G F Em Em
While the moon stems the tide in his heart

[Verse]
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Cast iron and recall
Em A Asus4 A Asus2 A
The ore pouring deep in the vein
C C G F
As the years of searing heat, ‘till all is just salt
Em D C/G C/G
That is left in the bed where he sleeps

[Chorus]
G D Am C/G
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G D Am C/G
Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea
G D Am C/G
Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea
G D Am C/G
Dreams about drowning, While the moon looks away

[Bridge]
D Am Am/C D Am
History unheard, silent like the waves
C G D C
A graveyard for the giants, that was his eye, dry is his heart

[Chorus]
G D Am C/G
Dreams about swimming, Miles away from the sea
G D Am C/G
Dreams about swimming, Though he’s miles from the sea
G D Am C/G
Dreams about falling, From the sky through the sea
G F Em D C
While the moon lays out a bed, Of bones to call home

[Outro]
Em
