verse 1 

  EB                Eb9               Ab                Eb 
I hung out with the old folks, in the hope that I'd get wise. 

      Gm                   Cm               F       Bb 
I was trying to bridge the gap, between the great divide. 

        Eb        Eb9              Ab               Eb 
Hung on every recollection, in the theatre of their eyes 

        Gm             Cm           F                 Bb 
Picking up on this and that, in the few that still survive. 

 
Eb Call em up Cm Dust em off D Gm Let em shine Ab Eb F Bb The ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behind Eb Cm Those that flew, those that fell, D Gm The ones that had to stay, Ab Eb Beneath a little wooden cross Bb EB Oceans away
REPEAT INTRO verse 2 (SAME CHORDS AS verse 1) They bend like trees in winter, these shuffling old gray lions Though snow white start to gather, like the belt around Orion. Just a touch of faded lightning, of the powerful design, Of the generation gathered, for maybe the last time. REPEAT Chorus BRIDGE F# Ab Bbm Oceans away where the green grass sways and the cool wind blows across the shadow of their graves. F# AB shoulder to shoulder, back in the day, sleeping bones to rest in Earth Bbm Fsus4 Bbm O - ceans away F# Ab Bb O - ceans away REPEAT Chorus REPEAT INTRO OUTRO: Single Eb note fading into the distance
