[Verse]
C G
It was all once bright jewels
C G
and glittering sands
C
The oceans have ravaged
G
Strangled the land
Bb
Waste fills the temples
C#
Dead daughters are born
The presses are empty
G C G
Your editor's torn
[Chorus]
Bb Eb Dm
Whose husband was the first to fall?
Eb Cm Gm
Who died the worst death of them all?
Bb F Cm Eb
How many splinters in each separate band?
Gm Cm Dsus4 Dsus4/C Dsus4/Bb Dsus4/A
How many stations in the final hand?
[Verse]
C G
Go gathering sea shells
C G
And write down brave words
C
Your prayers are unanswered
G
Your idols absurd
Bb
seaweed and cobwebs
C#
have rotted your son
your barricade's broken
G C G
your enemy's loss
[Chorus]
Bb Eb Dm
Whose husband was the first to fall?
Eb Cm Gm
Who died the worst death of them all?
Bb F Cm Eb
How many splinters in each separate band?
Gm Cm Dsus4 Dsus4/C Dsus4/Bb Dsus4/A Gm
How many stations in the final hand?
