Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Loom of the land

It was the dirty end of ^Emwinter Along the loom of the l^Gand When I walked with sweet Sall^Dy ^C Hand upon ^Emhand And the wind it bit ^Embitter For a boy of no ^Gmeans With no shoes on his fee^Dt ^C And a knife in his ^Emjeans Along the loom of the ^Emland The mission bells ^Gpealed From the tower at Saint Mar^Dy's ^C Down to Reprobate ^EmFields And I saw that the ^Emworld Was all blessed and ^Gbright And Sally breathed ^Dsoftly In the majestic ^Cnight

O baby please ^Ddon't cry And try to ^Emkeep Your little ^Dhand upon my ^Cshoulder Now go to ^Emsleep

The elms and the ^Empoplars Were turning their ^Gbacks Past the rumbling s^Dtation ^C We followed the ^Emtracks We found an untrodden ^Empath And followed it^G down The moon in the ^Dsky ^C Like a dislodged ^Emcrown My hands they ^Emburned In the folds of her ^Gcoat Breathing milky white a^Dir ^C From deep in her ^Emthroat

O baby please don't ^Dcry And try to ^Emkeep Your little ^Dhead upon my s^Choulder Now go to ^Emsleep

^EmI told Sally in whispers ^GI'll never bring you harm ^DHer breast it was ^Csmall And warm in my ^Empalm I told her the ^Emmoon Was a magical ^Gthing That it shone gold in win^Dter ^C And silver in ^Emspring And we walked and ^Emwalked Across the endless ^Gsands Just me and my Sally^{D C} Along the loom of the ^Emland

O baby please don't ^Dcry And try to ^Emkeep Your little ^Dhead upon my ^Cshoulder Now try to ^Emsleep O baby please don't ^Dcry And don't y^Emou weep Lay your hea^Dd upon my sho^Culder Now try to ^Emsleep
