Basket of Eggs Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Em]
As through [Am]a glass

[Verse 1]
darkly you seek yourself,
But the light grows [G]weak
[Em]while under Yggsdrasil.
A basket of [Am]eggs may
you count your days.
Though your gut lies filled,
[Em]only shells remain.
I can tell you've been [G]drinking

[Verse 2]
[Am]
by the scent of your [G]breath.[Am]
Another little sip,
[Em]a bit deeper in debt.
You can rest [G]your head[Am]
in your wrinkled hand[G]s.[Am]
But when [Em]you awake, you're in another land.
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am][G][Em]
[G][Am][G][Am][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
In fields [Am]of green rolling on endlessly
You find a fallen [Em]nest
where there is no tree.
Mark the brown furred [Am]hound
tied to the mandrake root.
Dare you carve [Em]a face
in that virtue food?
I can tell what you're [G]thinking.

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I see it every[G]day.[Am]
I'll help you with your coat,
[Em]see you on your way.
Sure you want to go [G]walking [Am]on
a night like [G]this?[Am]
Look, there goes another one [Em]now. One day I swear they

[Interlude 2]
will not miss.
[Em][G][Am][G][Am][Em]
[G][Am][G][Am][Em]
As through [G]a glass

[Verse 5]
[Am]darkly
you seek your[G]self,[Am]
But the light grows weak
[Em]while under Yggsdrasil.
A basket of [G]eggs [Am]may
you count your [G]days.[Am]
Though your gut lies filled,
[Em]only shells remain.

[Outro 1]
