[Intro]
F Gm F Gm
 
 
[Verse]
Gm GmEmpty promises I’ve given
F GmHollow heart beats in my chest
G GmAnd every word of sterling silver
F G GmStirred butterfliiiies beneath your breast
 
 
[Verse]
GmStill untouched by ties a-binding
F GmGoin’ where the Gulf breeze blows
G GmNo ring of gold around your finger
F G GmNo ring of brass run through my nose
 
 
[Chorus]
F GmHeadlong for the wall now honey
F GmStill coming up like a rose
 
CDead still in the garden
F GmWaiting for the reveille
 
F Gm F GmThe dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
 
C F G GmThat mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
 
 
[Verse]
GmHear the song she sang in darkness
F GmTearful, fair, and free and fine
G GmYou’re the one she softly whispers
F G GmMy canaaaary in the mine
 
 
[Chorus]
F GmHeadlong for the wall now honey
F GmStill coming up like a rose
 
CDead still in the garden
F GmWaiting for the reveille
 
F Gm F GmThe dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
 
C F G Gm GmThat mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]

Gm C F G Gm F F Gm
 
 
[Verse]
Gm GmI met a man, pale gray with wisdom
F GmTold me faith will come collect
G GmHard tempered steel bites at my ankles
F G GmSoft cotton rove burns at my neck
 
 
[Chorus]
F GmHeadlong for the wall now honey
F GmStill coming up like a rose
 
CDead still in the garden
F GmWaiting for the reveille
 
F Gm F GmThe dawn is yet to dry the dew from off my Sunday clothes
 
C F G GmThat mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
 
 
[Outro]
C F G GmThat mean old sun better rise up soon if its ever gonna set on me
