Key of Bm, capo on two.
LAm MIm
Your passin' broke the silence
FA SOL
On that dark October day
LAm MIm
The sun was headin' for the west
FA SOL
As it did I heard you say
LAm MIm
I set my sail for a gentle breeze
FA SOL
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be
FA SOL DO SOL LAm
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
FA SOL LAm
Did you ever listen to me?
Though now it seems you'll never know
But every lad to a man must grow
Till winter comes to celebrate
Then proudly chills the bone
When at last they bury me
Into this ground you'll someday see
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
FA SOL DO
Did you ever listen to me?
FA
Though the face we wear
DO
Sometimes seldom speaks
FA
From the babe that cries
DO
To this grown man's feet
FA
May the hand still write
DO
And its' heart shape keep
FA LAm
Till our fathers, sons and daughters agree
LAm SOL FA
LAm SOL FA
So I will pave this road till glory
LAm SOL FA
Sets our broken spirit free
LAm SOL FA
From every cross-soaked nail pours endless rain
DO SOL LAm
With tears no eye should see
LAm SOL FA
But they could fill our highest ocean
LAm SOL FA
And the rivers in between
LAm SOL FA
With every blade that flowers must grow then drown
DO SOL MI
With love our cruelest sea
