[ Предположительная тональность: Em ] THIS SONG IS PLAYED HALF-STEP DOWN. Em Am A bell in a churchyard, Em B7 It yells for me to begin. Em Am And my hands they tremble and shake. Em B7 While a chill burrows under my skin. Em Am It rains in the valley, Em B7 It rains from the skies. Em Am And it's raining deep inside my soul, Em B7 And it pours up and out of my eyes. Em Am B7 Am Not long ago, you were here in my arms Em Am B7 And I swore I would protect you from harm Am Em Now here we are. Am B7 On this hill, 'neath the tree Am Em In the Churchyard at dawn. Am B7 Am How could we've fallen so far? Em Am Em B7 Em Am Em The earth is a blood-red clay B7 That cakes to my heels. Em Am And the spade grows heavy as lead, Em B7 And my heart it is heavier still. Em Am In a bow there's a raven Em B7 And its eyes fix me with a stare. Em Am Then he turns and screams at the sky. Em B7 And it burns like the truth in my ears. Em Am B7 Am Not long ago, you were here in my arms Em Am B7 And I swore I would protect you from harm Am Em Now here we are. Am B7 On this hill, 'neath the tree Am Em In the Churchyard at dusk. Am B7 Am How could we've fallen so far? Em Am B7 No one should find out how it feels Am Em Am Standing here, hoping and praying B7 Am Em You'll awake from this awful ordeal. Am B7 No one should find out what it's like Am Em Am B7 Standing here, digging a hole in which to bury Am Em Your child and your wife. Em Am When they are finished Em B7 They look like wounds on a hill Two graves, they lay side by side For my life and my lover to fill. Em Am B7 No one should find out how it feels Am Em Am Standing here, hoping and praying B7 Am Em You'll awake from this awful ordeal. Am B7 No one should find out what it's like Am Em Am Standing here, not having the means B7 Am Em To buy the medicine to save their lives.
