Age Old Blue - Alela Diane

Capo 1st Fret


Am Dm
The sea beneath the cliff is the blue in my mother's eyes
G
That came from the blue in her mother's eyes
C Em

Thrown on down the line
Am Dm
By our family who worked the field on borrowed land above the ocean
G C Em
My family worked the field on borrowed land

Chorus
Dm C G
Higher hills do not provide
Dm C G
For hearts born of coral and moss
Dm C G
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
Dm C G
And water is captive to the well

(Repeat after each chorus:)
Am
Oh-ohh
Dm
Oh-Ohh
G
Oh-Ohh
C Em
Oh-oh-oh

(Same chords as first verse)
There was a gentleman,
I've always known his children's songs
Blue eyes were hardened by the war
But still he went on singing

Night can't hide a man
When his eyes are tearing
The night can't hide his cries
There's only a few of us left

Higher hills do not provide
For hearts born of coral and moss
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
And water is captive to the well

I've known that age old blue lies in home with sirens tombs
He's left a deep desire for a home beside the water
Shady rhythm calms the night
And that voice is never still
You know a voice is never still
And a voice is never silent

Shady rhythm calms the night
And that voice is never still
You know a voice is never still
And a voice is never silent

Higher hills do not provide
For hearts born of coral and moss
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
And water is captive to the well
