12 Harps Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]His clothes hang tired
On his [A]lonely [Em]awk [A]ward f[Em]rame[A]
They pro[Em]tect his bones
Like the [A]folds of a [Em]bat [A]s wi[Em]ng c[A]ape
He [Em]talks to the wind
His [A]breath [Em]spelling something
She draws [A]near
But the [Em]words hit the floor
And the one he adored never [A]hears
[Em]As

[Verse 2]
[G]twelve [Gdim]harps p[G]lay and time breaks the waves,[Em]
[G]she[A] nev[G]er [Em]hears
[F#m][A][F#m][A][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Faceless among all the [A]tears
[Em]That [A]reflect [Em]from her ston[A]e
[Em]As the crowd turns away he is [A]left there
To grieve on his [Em]own[A][Em]
Leaving his heart on a harp
That [A]he placed on her [Em]grave[A]
[Em]He relied on the wind
But he [A]knew she could never be [Em]saved[A]
[Em]As

[Verse 4]
[Gdim]twelve h[G]arps play and time breaks the waves,
faintly [Em]she [A]hears
[Em][A][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]You were the jewel
That I failed to unearth while I [A]breathed
[Em]Deaf to the chimes
And blind to your eye[A]s g[Em]uiding m[A]e
[Em]Secretly watching you
gave me your hand
I was safe in your [A]care[Em]
I could have danced in the ball of your eyes
If I'd known you [A]were there
[Em]As

[Verse 6]
[Gdim]twelve h[Em]arps p[G]lay and
time carries their waves
All through [Em]the [A]years at l[Em]ast
she can hear now
Clouds full [Bbdim]of melodi[Gdim]es[A][D]
Banish [A]those [Bbdim]memor ies[Gdim][A][D]
It's all [Em]they'll [D]ever [G]need
They'll whisper through
[Em]empt[D]y stre[G]ets
And [D]wild [G]wea[Gdim]thervane[D]s
[Gdim]In the w[G]in[D]d and[Gdim][G][D][Bbaug][C][D][C][Bbaug]
[C][Bbaug][D][Bbaug]
