Intro: Am

Am     B  Dm        Am
  I am just a weary singer
Am       B           Dm       E 
 Moving through this world of ills
Am        B       Dm      Am
 Hark the choir of predecessors
E                     G      C
 When the paint grows darker still


Am      B   Dm         Am
 Once I found a golden trumpet
Am      B          Dm      E
 In the mash of an old landfill
Am     B  Dm        Am
 Now I play for the spirits
E                     G      C    
 When the paint grows darker still


F       G     C      Bb
 Winter waited in my garden
F         G          C      G
 When the sun did refuse to shine
F     G       C     Bb
 Honeybees all in a slumber
F             G      C   G
 Skies filled up the sea
F        G       C   G
 Falling down on me

 Winter waited in my garden
F         G           C     G
 When the sun did refuse to shine
F     G       C     Bb
 Honeybees all in a slumber
F             G      C   G
 Skies filled up the sea
F        G       C  G
 Falling down on me

Am       B  Dm        Am
 See his eyes turn to stained glass
Am       B        Dm        E
 Head to toe in a black roadkill
Am      B Dm        Am
 Here I am for your judgement
E                     G      C    G
 When the paint grows darker still
E                     G      C    G
 When the paint grows darker still
E                     G      C
 When the paint grows darker still
