F#B Close your eyes and you draw one more day to a close A You choose to be alone BF# You float through your life as a ghost F# And everything heals given time B And everything dies given time ABF# And the scars run together, mixing the nerves with the blood BF# And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down BF# And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground A When your heart's deep and dark as a well BC#F# And everything that's golden and green goes to hell
F# And I was born to wind in the cradle B And I ride on the hot southern breeze AB and I twist in the green and the gold ABF# and you see and there is blood on my elbows and knees F# And people want to grow old in the cradle B When there's snakes all around in the reeds AB And you ask me to fear of no evil ABF# When your fire's all over my feet BF# And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down BF# And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground A When your heart's deep and dark as a well BC# And everything that's golden and green goes to hell

F# I said bring out your Vivian girls B Bring out your cloud-covered girls AB and bring me a cup of your tears ABF# and give me the rest of your years F# Because everything dies, given time B And I know that this world could be mine AB So I closed both my eyes and I count my heartbeats ABF# and I know that my wings are on fire BF# And the soldiers light houses on fire and they burn down BF# And all your belongings turn to dirt in the ground A When your heart's deep and dark as a well BC# And everything that's golden and green goes to hell
*When going to the F# throughout the song ad lib hammer-ons from the E to F# bass note your power chords --- just listen to the song
The higher pitched instrument throughout the song is a mandolin ... just hang around F# your upper register to duplicate ... on the break in between vocal lines it's generally to F# like the bass and rhythm guitar
