Verse 1
E|E|E|E|E|-------|||-|| 

Dm                  Bb          F
Listen now boys, my grandmother said
     Gm          Dm   C           Dm
I'll tell you a story then off to bed.
Dm                  Bb           F
Once was a time, we lived of the land,

Verse 2

Dm                        Bb            F
Winds blew our lives, and scattered our seeds.
Gm           Dm              C          Dm
Changing the landscape, from flowers to weeds.
Dm                       Bb       F
See in the graveyard the families gone.
    Gm          Dm         C          Dm
The grandest of tombstones carry them on...

Verse 3
E|E|E|E|E|-------|||-|| 

   Dm                   Bb      F
We tended the fire, and fairies appeased
    Gm          Dm         C         Dm
The flame never died until we had to leave.
Dm                     Bb            F
When we were gone, the house tumbled down
Gm          Dm               C           Dm
Covered our footprints, we'd left on the ground.

So carry your past in the rooms of your heart

and you'll never be empty of love when you part.
