As I lay my burden down

In the cradle of an elegy

In the shotgun shape of this life

I'm happy happy in the sorrow key
verse 1
Bm G
Hadrian's wall was mighty
A
Not so mighty it didn't fall
Bm G
I roamed among its sod and stone
A
To wonder how we come apart
F#m Bm
The earth it holds the human toll
Em7 A
The heavens bow to the gravity
Bm G
The bursting heart the bleeding brain
A
In grief we shift tectonically

verse 2
Bm G
Three days moored in Singapore
A
The ancient lure of currency
Bm G
The rain came down the trade winds blew
A
And held me anchored to my dues
F#m Bm
Slumbering I felt a tug
Em7 A
I ran to little India
Bm G
To find a beggar's clarity
A D D7M D D7M
And eat the spice of deities
Bridge
D
When I close my eyes
G
Imagine us dead and gone
Em
The bright light of kingdom come
A
But I can't see
D
Take it out of my hands
G
I want to know the truth
Em
The eye of the eagle
A
To deliver me
G F#
I'm happy in the sorrow
