[Intro]
Em B Gm D Am
[Verse 1]
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db C B7
They take my time without question
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db Am F
And fill my days with all their emptiness
E Am
And in their drawing rooms they beg my sympathy
F E Am
But if I weep to solve their silent misery
F E E7 Am B7
[Verse 2]
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db C B7
The neighbours trespass on my highway
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db Am F
And feed my lambs on every pavement corner
E Am
And with their grief inside they're hiding from the rain
F E Am
But if my sun should shine too loudly on their woe
F E E7 Am B7
They catch its beam to sell for gold
[Solo]
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db C
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db Am F
[Verse 3]
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db C B7
They have me captured in their city
Em Em/Eb Em/D Em/Db Am F
In every living room my dust has laid me low
E Am
And well I know the brown earth will be my best friend
F E Am
And when I'm gone they'll find another way to mend
F E E7 Am
They'll sell my silversong for tears
