[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][G][D][Asus4][Am][D][Asus4][Am]
[Dsus4][G][Asus4][D][Asus4][Am][D][Asus4][Am][G][D][Asus4][A]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
The light, [D]it is
fading [C]along the [D]green [Dm]belt[D]
As the [F]millions [G]weep for their
[C]chil[G]dren[C]
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 2]
Sitting detached in the
suburban [Dm]ness[D][Dm]
[D]As [C]polit[F] ic[G]s brew in the
[C]cauldron[G]
[C][Am][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[C]Dark [G]ages
[D]Spilling no secrets [Dm]from the
[C]old house of[A]cards[D]
That [C]stand immune as the [G]great
disease rages
Through the [D]pack stacked with jokers

[Verse 4]
Old aces die hard
[D]Unfinished [C]flyovers crack
[D]in the [Dm]winter[C][Dm]
And the [F]grass grows [G]still through the
concrete
[Am][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]
The last words of Prime Ministers [C]drop
like the [Dsus4]pin[Dm][C][Dm]
[D]Breaking [F]silence [G]left by
their cold feet
[Am][C][A]

[Verse 6]
[C]Dark [G]ages
[D]Spilling no [Dm]secrets from the old
house of [D]card[Dm]s
[D]That [C]stand immune as the
[G]great disease rages
Through the [D]pack stacked with [Dm]jokers
Old aces [D]die hard
[Dm]And moth[D]er superior

[Verse 7]
[C]calls
for the [D]light[Dm][C]
[Dm]To mark heav[F]en's request[G]
for [Am]repentance[C][D]
But the football crowds mutter
and [C]pray for [Dsus4]the night[Dm][C]
[Dm]And marc[F]h to their doom [G]with
[Am]acceptance
[C][A]

[Verse 8]
[Bm]
[C]Dark [G]ages
[D]Plant their last [Dm]seed on the wither[D]ing land
To [C]grow in the dust of [G]yes
terday's wages
Under[D]written by the [Dm]pen of his[D]tory's hand

[Verse 9]
[G]And the blue dawn
[A]And cracks [D]on [Am]the morn
[D]Of another day
[Gm]Ten thousand [A]years away
[G]And the seeds that were [A]sown
Into young [D]men [Am]have [D]grown
Fathers to
[Gm]Their youngest [A]child [G]to place
In the camp fire's [A]sight
Dead [D]as [Am]the night
That he [D]can't quite recall
[Gm]He can't q[A]uite recall

[Verse 10]
When the [A]dreams in his
head were the stone[D]s
In his bed [G]and the shout
s of the [C]sun [D]as it falls
And the [A]women wake and they
laugh as [D]they shake
Their [G]frosty sleep [C]from [D]their hair
And [A]put that same old kettle [D]on
And [G]sing [C]that same old [D]pagan [G]song

[Verse 11]
[A]Dark [Bb]ages
[D]History's karma is [C]rattling its [G]chains
[A]Dark [Bb]ages
[D]Civilization's [C]menstrual [G]pains

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 12]
The bone's in the china, [D]the
fat's in the fire
[D]There's no turkey lef[G]t on the
[G]table[C][D]

[Verse 13]
[D]The commuters return on the [C]six
o'clock [D]flyer[Dm][C][D]
Brings no [F]bale of [G]straw
for [C]the stable[A]

[Verse 14]
[C]Dark [G]ages
[D]Spilling no secret[Dm]s from
[F]the old [D]house of cards
That [C]stand immune as the
[G]great disease rages
Through the [D]pack stacked with [Dm]jokers
Old aces [D]die hard

[Verse 15]
[C]Dark [G]ages
[D]Spilling no secret[D]s from
the [C]old house of [D]cards
That [C]stands immune as the [G]great
disease rages
Through the [D]pack stacked with [F]joker[Dm]s
Old [C]aces [D]die hard
