Capo 1st Fret
VERSE: G / D / E / C
I go to sleep, before the devil wakes
And I wake up, before the angels take
All my worldly desires
All my yardsticks of fear
All my secrets untold
All my motives unclear
Hangin' down in the fire
Burnin' them higher
Won't take them away from here
CHORUS: G / D / Am / C
And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
The light will stay on
Watched the city, . . . city of crows
Watched them fly, watched 'em all flyin' low
Out above the flood plain
Just above the dirt road
They were hungry as winter
Hungry as us
Not afraid to be flyin'
Not afraid to be lost
And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
The light will stay on
And if you bury me, add three feet to it
One for you sorrow, two for your sweat
Three for the strange things we never forget
And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
The light will stay on
And long after we're safe
The lights will not fade
The lights will not fade
