guitar chords lyrics
This took my quite some time to get right, feedback very welcome!
Intro: C F Am F
Em C
The song's a thing
Em C
And this one's thin
F C
From traveling light
F C
The stars at night
Em C B7 Em
Have seen old time to new erosion
F C F C
Old time gone with old religion
Em G F C
Prickled interest seizing pride
Em G F C Am C Am G
The night the music upped and died, died.
C
Been listening all the night-long
Am F
Been listening all the day.
C
Will I listen for the one you know
Am F
Will I listen, will i pray?
C
It's a-coming all the night long
Am F
It's a-coming in the day
C G C F
It's blowing through my stone ears, whistling its way.
Left the song behind old chums
The faintest trace of what's to come
What's behind and what is near
Banished by a suckling ear.
Coffee lustre
Lend me mine
Nothing came with fear and wine, wine.
Been listening all the night long
Been listening all the day
Will I listen for the one you know
Will I listen, will I pray?
It's a coming all the night-long
Its a-coming in the day
Its blowing through my stone ears, whistling it's way.
The music's gone
The music's dead
The music went and in its stead
A single song, a chorus strong
A symphony, songs right or wrong
The band's rehearsing, the radios off
The silence is everything, hold that cough.
Been listening all the night-long
Been listening all the day
Will I listen to the one you know
Will I listen, will I pray?
It's a-coming all the night-long
It's a-coming in the day
It's blowing through my stone ears, whistling it's way.
