A lonely man amidst these scenes, I wander aimless round these dreams    
 Em                                 G                                               D  
I prefer the humble ones, I prefer the humble ones now you have gone  
               A                                        Em  
You?ve gone 5000 miles. You?ll be gone at Christmas time  
              G           A                                   G         A           Bm         
So I?ll carry the cross, The cross into the lights blind my eyes  
                  Em             A                 D        D9   D   D9  D  
And I will beg that you still love me  
           

         D                                                               A  
A thousand miles for every year, Since you swept across this desert  
                Em                                     G                                             D                
You?re a prophet, you?re a plague, I felt the flowers grow despite myself  
                                              A  
Will I be the bastard I was then?  Will the isolation spread  
        Em                                        G             A  
Just like a cancer, Like a lie, I?ll carry the cross  

                              G        A           Bm                     Em            A               D  
The cross into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me  
             G        A            Bm                      Em           A                D  
See the light blinds my eyes,  And I will beg that you still love me  
D                                           D9                    D                                   D9         D        D9  
Go to sleep, I?ll dream of endlessness, Go to sleep, I?ll dream of children in the hills  

(Mandolin solo)  D      A      Em     G     D      A      Em      G  

D                                                                     A  
When you come home you will find,  This naked spirit tumbling blind  
Em                                                           G                         A  
I?ll lay myself down at your mercy,  A faithless man who lies  

                G      A            Bm                     Em          A                 D  
Into the lights blind my eyes,  And I will beg that you still love me  
              G      A             Bm                    Em           A                 D      D9  
See the light blinds my eyes,  And I will beg that you still love me  
          D                                            D9 D  
Go to sleep,    Will you still love me   x 3    then  Dsus   D  D9 until finish
