       Em   B5   Asus2
When I die
        Em         B5    Asus2
put my bones in an empty street
Em       B5                 Asus2
    to remind me of how it used to be
Em               B5           Asus2
    Don't write my name on a stone
Em           B5                 Asus2
    bring a Coleman lantern and a radio
Em    B5                  Asus2
     Cleveland game and two fishing poles
Em     B5             Asus2
   and watch with me from the shore
Em    B5              Asus2
   Ghostly steel and iron ore ships coming home

          Em    B5       Asus2
Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness(x4)

Em            B5      Asus2
     Clearly iron age beasts
Em            B5                  Asus2
     you can tell by the rust and by the chains
Em              B5            Asus2
     And by the oil that they bleed
Em            B5           Asus2
     the crew of crows fly the skulls and bones
Em                B5        Asus2
     They fly the colors of their homes
Em     B5                   Asus2
     I fly the cross of the blue factory flame
Em                 B5            Asus2
     Stitched with heavy sulpher thread/threat
Em       B5                              Asus2
     They ain't proud colors but they're true colors of my home

Em B5 Asus2

          Em    B5       Asus2
Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness(x4)

Em B5 Asus2 (x4)

Em        B5       Asus2
    Every mile for ten thousand miles
Em            B5         Asus2
    and every year for a thousand years
Em         B5          Asus2
    Every night for a thousand more
Em               B5  Asus2
    I hear them calling (x3)

                        Em  B5
They never say to come home
                   Asus2
They never say to come home

          Em    B5       Asus2
Where I am paralyzed by the emptiness(x4)
