Verse 1:
G C D
I can hear the cries of the dead
G C D
Maybe it's your neighbour beating his dog in the basement
G C D
I can hear the cries of the dead
G C D
Muffled by the ground but still loud enough to make it out
Chorus 1:
A D G D A
Monkey-webs of concrete road disappear in time
A D G D A
Weeds and trees that grow from seed will cover us in time
G D A
Swallowing all of the buildings
G D A
And every single piece of trash
Verse 2:
I can hear the cries of the dead
Maybe its your neighbour playing his trumpet in the basement
I can hear the cries of the dead
Muffled by the ground but still loud enough to make a sound
Chorus 2:
You went to the mountains true and painted what you saw
You came back late and hid the painting underneath our couch
and I wasn't there when you made it
But I feel like I'm there when I'm lookin' at it
Bridge:
G (A) G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
D (E) D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Verse 1:
I can hear the cries of the dead
Maybe its your neighbour beating his dog in the basement.
I can hear the cries of the dead,
Muffled by the ground but still loud enough to make it out
