AInto this Cstrange elastic Aworld Pont us kiCndly gave up a pAearl His etDernal stone and Gmud But ain't she lovely Dbone D7and Ablood
Born of the Csea A A thousand Emmiles Gaway from Ame A court of Dangels Wards of the Gsun
A future forming
A Dcurse D7undonAe [Chorus] Riff 1 F#mUnder our sAoftly burning F#mlamp she takes her Atime Riff 1 F#mTelling sAtories of our Epossible lives And Glove is the ink in the well when her Ebody Awrites Riff 2 DI've been sAelfish and full of pDride And she knows Adeep down there's a little Dchild But I've got a Agood side to me as F#mwell And it's that she Eloves in spite of Deverything else Dsus4 D
[Break] A C A Em G [Verse]
AA song in the Ctree has distracted her Amind Some other cuCrious form of life A Has made it's Dpresence to her Gknown And she coos so gently Dsoft D7and lAow
Her shining Cface in a million reAflections in tiny Emraindrops that Gfall in a Aveil Over our cDity like notes from aGbove It overwhelms me! just Daint D7that tAough
[Chorus] Riff 1
F#mIt's not that the dAarkness can't touch our F#mlives I know it will, in Atime Riff 1 F#mBut she's no Aordinary Evalentine And nGow when the sun goes down she sheds a Edarling Alight. Riff 2 DI've been sAelfish and full of pDride And she knows Adeep down there's a little Dchild But I've got a Agood side to me as F#mwell And it's that she Eloves in spite of Deverything else Dsus4 D
[Outro] A C A G D A [Notes] Watching James Mercer play it live on youtube. He does little embellishments which add a fair bit to the song. But they aren't really necessary if you just want to bash it out. For example on the A chords he will generally play: A A/E A (I originally thought he was playing A/G, but he's using his pinky to mute the A string.) Likewise on the C: C C/G C A good example of this is on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mveay4Ff1BU Corrections welcome. Thanks to 677sam and Locohol for the corrections.
