The Rope

[Intro ] Am G Am C G Am [Refrão] Am The wells gone dry Am The wells gone dry G Put the bags in the carriage G And a rag to your eye Am The earth's turned sour Am The earth's turned sour C Burn the plow for warmth Am Put the roots in the cellar Am Can't get drunk no more Am Won't get drunk no more G Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor Am This earth won't give back anything anymore Interlude Am G Am C Em Am C Em Am Em Am [Verso 1] Am You can't eat your silver, can't drink your gold G Your powders all wet and your swords are all dull Am The rope Am The rope Am The tower rings so loud C Em No more people to burn no more witches to drown Am You tremble where you stand hand in hand G Looking for answers to questions you just don't understand Am How could I be wrong why'd it take so long C Am The shadows of the stones cast set fire to my throne [Refrão] Am The wells gone dry Am The wells gone dry G Put the bags in the carriage G And a rag to your eye Am The earth's turned sour Am The earth's turned sour C Burn the plow for warmth Am Put the roots in the cellar Am Can't get drunk no more Am Won't get drunk no more G Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor Am This earth won't give back anything anymore Instrumental Break Am G Am C G Am [Verso 2] Am Home in those cities, guest till the end G Filling them prisons with blood to the brim Am The rope Am The rope Am The tower rings so loud G Wondering through your home now burning to the ground Am Bottles all empty Am Chambers all full G Ain't no angels knocking at your door Am Just skeleton bones to keep you warm C In that grave you dug for the world [Refrão] Am The wells gone dry Am The wells gone dry G Put the bags in the carriage G And a rag to your eye Am The earth's turned sour Am The earth's turned sour C Burn the plow for warmth Am Put the roots in the cellar Am Can't get drunk no more Am Won't get drunk no more G Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor Am This earth won't give back anything anymore Instrumental Break Am G Am C G Am G Am Out-Chorus Am The wells gone dry Am The wells gone dry G Put the bags in the carriage G And a rag to your eye Am The earth's turned sour Am The earth's turned sour C Burn the plow for warmth Am Put the roots in the cellar Am Can't get drunk no more Am Won't get drunk no more G Bodies gone to the earth, minds spilled out on the floor Am This earth won't give back anything anymore Em Am Oh no, this earth won't give back anything anymore
