[Verse 1]
C
Well there's cracks between the floorboards, and it’s letting all the heat in,
F C G
so I’m sitting in the dark in an old man’s room.
C
I can hear some voices floating outside, slip under the door as they creak by.
F C G
I can't see them, though I know that they’re there.
[Chorus]
Am
There’s a calm in the corner, I don’t know what, but it’s staring straight at me, I can feel it in my guts.
F C G
I’m going to lay me down low in the tall grass.
F C G
I’m going to lay me down low in the tall tall grass.
F(BARRED) Am G C
When I hear angels singing, and their voices carry on high,
F(BARRED) Am G C
I will not worry about dying.
[Verse 2]
C
She came into the room, I saw her shivering, freezing cold.
F C G
She said, "Maybe I am having fever dreams."
C
I looked her in the eyes, and she said,
C F C G
“My father is still in my heart. Maybe he is still in these walls. He always said that he'd look after us.
Am G C
Yea, he always said that he’d look after us."
[Chorus]
Am
There’s a calm in the corner, I don’t know what, but it’s staring straight at me, I can feel it in my guts.
F C G
I’m going to lay me down low in the tall grass.
F C G
I’m going to lay me down low in the tall tall grass.
F(BARRED) Am G C
When I hear angels singing, and their voices carry on high,
F(BARRED) Am G
I will not worry about dying.
F(BARRED) Am G C
When I hear angels singing, and their voices carry on high,
F(BARRED) Am G
I will not worry about dying.
[Outro]
F C G
I'm going to lay me down low in the tall grass.
F C G
I'm going to lay me down low in the tall grass.
