[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
She went [D]out
And found
[A]Her father face down on [G]the ground
Out in the cold
[A]

[Verse 2]
Walked [D]her way 'round
A [A]hill where the sun's sinking [G]down
Into [A]the snow

[Verse 3]
Oh, [Em]white [G]caps [D]of the waves [A]slap
Like [Em]last hand [G]claps
And [A]the dark
Water dies in [Em]the crash
Is sucked back with a [D]moan
Smoke on [A]the coast
And old, [Em]piled fathers
Soft-sighing [G]daughters
[A]daughters
[D]Whe[A]re doe[G]s it go[Em][G]
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
It's a dream now
I'll de[A]scribe
Let your mind drift [G]on down
Like [A]so
To when the [D]world was young
Big sky
[A]Blue with a dead
Bachelor's [G]tongue
Blood-red bloom bloom on the [A]rose

[Verse 5]
So, some [Em]line someone [G]told
Says, "Even [D]light can get [A]old"
Oh, [Em]slobbering lovers
Drink-clinking brothers
[G]brothers
They don't [A]have to tell us

[Interlude 1]
'Cause we know
[Em][G][A][Em]
[G][A][Em][G][A][D]

[Verse 6]
"What a [D]way down
What a ride
[A]What a slide
Spin [G]around
What a life to [A]have known
What a [D]time"

[Verse 7]
[D]And how
I was singing [A]out in a crowd
Of a thou[G]sand of the most frightening
[A]faces I've known
When the [Em]lighthouse[G]
Lending [D]a sight, finally [A]went out
What [Em]a fright we [G]felt
in that [A]night
Friends, just shout it [Em]all out
All the 'why's [D]and 'no-no's
All All the cries in [A]your throat

[Verse 8]
How [Em]right
We [G]felt
With our hands [D]tightly closed
Around something [A]we broke
And then our whimpering [Em]sisters

[Verse 9]
Sobbing well-wishers
[G]Well, Well, it's [A]over[D]
Just [A]let my [D]hand go
