[Intro]
C Dm C Dm
[Verse]
Dm Dm
Empty promises I’ve given
C Dm
Hollow heart beats in my chest
G Dm
And every word of sterling silver
C G Dm
Stirred butterfliiiies beneath your breast
[Verse]
Dm
Still untouched by ties a-binding
C Dm
Goin’ where the Gulf breeze blows
G Dm
No ring of gold around your finger
C G Dm
No ring of brass run through my nose
[Chorus]
C Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey
C Dm
Still coming up like a rose
F
Dead still in the garden
C Dm
Waiting for the reveille
C Dm C Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
F C G Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
[Verse]
Dm
Hear the song she sang in darkness
C Dm
Tearful, fair, and free and fine
G Dm
You’re the one she softly whispers
C G Dm
My canaaaary in the mine
[Chorus]
C Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey
C Dm
Still coming up like a rose
F
Dead still in the garden
C Dm
Waiting for the reveille
C Dm C Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
F C G Dm Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
[Instrumental/Solo]
C Dm C Dm
Dm F C Dm
C Dm C Dm
Dm F C G Dm C C Dm
[Verse]
Dm Dm
I met a man, pale gray with wisdom
C Dm
Told me faith will come collect
G Dm
Hard tempered steel bites at my ankles
C G Dm
Soft cotton rove burns at my neck
[Chorus]
C Dm
Headlong for the wall now honey
C Dm
Still coming up like a rose
F
Dead still in the garden
C Dm
Waiting for the reveille
C Dm C Dm
The dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
F C G Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
[Outro]
F C G Dm
That mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
