A
[Verso 1]
Dm Bb
There was a little place in a pretty row
Gm A
Where we mostly did not go
Dm Bb
And next to the place in a field of trees
Gm F
Were stones stacked on stones for ten centuries
Vocalizing
Dm Bb
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gm A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verso 2]
Dm Bb
One time in the field in the middle of the night
Gm A
An old God shambled beneath the sodium light
Dm Bb
And the whole town gathered at the fence
Gm F
With looks on their faces worse than grief itself
Vocalizing
Dm Bb
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gm A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verso 3]
Dm Bb
Now then, a girl across the street with long dark hair
Gm A
Knelt among the stones and the mystical flare
Dm Bb
And the old God drew her into him like a flame
Gm A
And I’ve never seen you so beautiful as that again

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Touched by the spirit and touched by the flame
