James Vincent McMorrow – This old dark machine

Capo 3
Am Em
Spring it came upon us, every insect filled the air
D Am
dropped their wings upon my brother, cast their shadows on his hair
Am Em
If we follow where they're leading, we will surely come before
D Am
some unseen and wondrous magic made of visions to explore

D Am
Near the town where we were living was an old abandoned farm
D Am
every year we'd plant an orchid in the shelter of it's arm
D Am
to protect us from the madness of the future still to come
Em F D
it will be like this forever I will keep you safe from harm
Am Em D Am
Oohoo Ohhoo Ohooo ohhooo

Am Em
Then they caught us in the summer dressed in fathers finest clothes
D Am
you the hat he wore to market I the jacket filled with holes
Am Em
I've been searching all these hours for a hand as pale as bone
D Am
that would keep the strongest sunlight and reflect the brightest stone

D Am
Near the town where we were living was a warm and fragrant smell
D Am
of the orchid we had planted. Now a forest tall and well
D Am
what a statue to our greatness. What a story all will tell
Em F D
they'll remember us forever. They'll remember where we fell
Am Em D Am
Oohoo Ohhoo Ohooo ohhooo

Am G
This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders pulls to the left,
D
Then dies near the gutter but still in the road, the traffic is silent
Am C
the people they stare, and then they turn violent if they should touch,
Am
The hem of your dress. I would rise like a lion, strike out again
C G
the faithful they wait, the faithful they wait for the sign

D Am
Near the town where we were living was a loud and joyous sound
D Am
as the earth and all her beauty picked us up from off the ground
D Am
carried far across the mountain to a kingdom never bound
F C D
we will live like this forever. I will love you. I will love you.
Am Em D Am
I will love Ohoohhooo

Am Em D Am
Oohoo Ohhoo Ohooo ohhooo 3x
