‘Swing Low’
From This Marauder’s Midnight
Guitar/Ukulele
No capo
Dm
Bb
I spend my days back on it
Dm
I wear the knowing face
Dm
You cast your lines out, pulling me up
F
And at a roaring pace
Bb D#
I unravel through the motions
Dm
While I'm standing in one place
Bb
I'll offer my devotion
Dm
I'll sing along with you
Dm
Side by side and all the while
Dm
I'm miles away from you
Bb D#
And caught inside the orbit
Dm
That no one else can trace
F Am
Swing your cannon ball
Dm
And hit upon this place
Bb
Dust of my impurities
F
And molten my disgrace
Am
On that chain oh pendulum
Dm
Roll down
Bb F
And on that mighty chain
Am Dm
Swing low, swing low
Dm
See some of us hear voices
Dm
Some of us take pills
Dm
Some are dragging forces
Dm
They think no one else can feel
Bb D#
But if everyone is ocean
Dm
Then everyone’s erosion
F Am
Swing your cannon ball
Dm
And hit upon this place
Bb
Dust of my impurities
F
And molten my disgrace
Am
On that chain oh pendulum
Dm
Roll down
Bb F
And on that mighty chain
Am Dm
Swing low, swing low
F Am F Am
Mmmmmm
Dm Gm
Cello
Dm
So come right in old friend of mine
Dm
You can have my whole collection
Bb
The savage hum of broken dreams
Dm
Thoughts with no correction
Bb
The woven man inside of me
D#
Behind this thinnest veil
Gm Dm
Hands that hide behind my hands
Dm
The long unfurling tail
F Am
Swing your cannon ball
Dm
And hit upon this place
Bb
Dust of my impurities
F
And moons out from my face
Am
On that chain oh pendulum
Dm
Roll down
Bb F
And on that mighty chain
Am Dm
Swing low, swing low
Bb F
Swing loooo-ooow
Am
Swing low
Dm
Swiiiiiing low
Bb F
And on that mighty chain
Am F
Swing low, swing lohohow
(Am) F
Swing low
F
Swing low
Am F
Swing low
Dm
