A Sadness Song

Key: C

Introduction:  Em   G   C7M  

 Em                                             G 
When we touch the world
                 C7M           Em 
And it falls away
                                                           G 
When we feel that we're born
                 C7M           Em 
Just to fall apart
                                                           G 
And our mother lies in state
                 C7M                                     Em 
And the broken pitcher glistens
                                                             G 
And the snow is at the window
                     C7M                                 Em 
Creating neither sign nor symbol
           Am                                     C/E 
And the earth covers earth
           Am                                   C/E 
And the mud lies in pools
                       Em                                       G 
Where the sand-dunes stretch unbroken
                   C7M                           Em 
And the dry wind bends and sighs
                                                             G 
And the geese are running harmless
           C7M                                   Em 
And our desires are running wild
                                                               G 
Then we're looking at the smoke
                 C7M                                   Em 
That's rising from the incense
                                                             G 
Neither coming here nor going
                 C7M                               Em 
Neither heaven here nor hell
                                                                     G 
Neither borning here nor birthing
                 C7M                             Em 
Neither dying here nor death
                       Am                                   C/E 
And we're wrapped inside our troubles
                       Am                                 C/E 
And we're wrapped inside our pain
           Em                                             G 
And wracked with fires with longing
                 C7M                                 Em 
And our eyes are blind with night
                                                           G 
With our fingers clutching coins
                 C7M                                   Em 
And our thoughts burning with 'I'
                                                   G 
And our eyes cannot be sated
                     C7M                       Em 
With the world and its nightmares
                                                     G 
With the world and its dreams
                   C7M                         Em 
Though later they'll be filled
                 Am                             C/E 
With a small handful of dust
                 Am                                     C/E 
And the gods appear on the altars
   Em                                 G 
And we recognise their face
                 C7M                         Em 
It's a face that we have carved there
                                                             G 
And it's full of fear and longing
             C7M                       Em 
And promises and threats
                                                           G 
But they neither stoop to conquer
           C7M                         Em 
Nor do they stoop to praise
                                                             G 
And the mines are void of diamonds
           C7M                         Em 
That we carry in our rags
Thungder Perfect Mind
 Am                       C7M 
Then all the world seems
       Em 
A sadness song
                         G     C7M 
A sadness song
                       Em 
A sadness song
                           G                   C7M 
And all the world seems
                       Em 
A sadness song
