G 
It wasn peace I wanted 
                              C 
So it wasn peace I found, 
G 
I wouldn stand for reason 
                                C 
And it never would sit down. 
        D                             C 
The bird upon my shoulder 
                                             G             
Has not one kind word to say 
D                                    C 
My eye is on the sparrow, 
                                       G 
But she looks the other way 
D C Carry on, and me away, D C Hey, look alive the end of days D/E And our very blood C# C B Taste like honey now Bb And our very blood A G Taste like honey G - G5 - G - C x2
G There upon the mountain C Is the shadow of a hand G Tugging at the stubborn mule G Now standing like a man D C And twitching like the phantom limb G Of this whole countryside D C Disappearing at the knee G And breaking up our stride
D C Carry on, and me away, D C Hey, look alive the end of days D/E And our very blood C# C B Taste like honey now Bb And our very blood A G Taste like honey G - G5 - G - C x2
D/E - C# - C - B - Bb - A G - G5 - G - C x2 G I want time and bread and wine, C Sugar and a spoon, G I want for the hungry years C To be swallowed by this room. D C I wait out your memory G Now singing in the trees D C I wait for one grave angel G And I know she waits for me
D C Carry on, and me away, D C Hey, look alive the end of days D/E And our very blood C# C B Taste like honey now Bb And our very blood A G Taste like honey G - G5 - G - C x2
