A Sadness Song

	  		Intro: Em  G  Cmaj7 x2 

Em 

Em                       G 
When we touch the world 
        Cmaj7      Em 
And it falls away  
                             G 
When we feel that we're born 
        Cmaj7      Em 
Just to fall apart 
                             G 
And our mother lies in state 
        Cmaj7                   Em 
And the broken pitcher glistens 
                              G 
And the snow is at the window 
          Cmaj7                 Em 
Creating neither sign nor symbol 

     Am                   C/E 
And the earth covers earth 
     Am                  C/E 
And the mud lies in pools 

           Em                    G 
Where the sand-dunes stretch unbroken 
         Cmaj7              Em 
And the dry wind bends and sighs 
                              G 
And the geese are running harmless 
     Cmaj7                  Em 
And our desires are running wild 
                               G 
Then we're looking at the smoke 
        Cmaj7                  Em 
That's rising from the incense 
                              G 
Neither coming here nor going 
        Cmaj7                Em 
Neither heaven here nor hell 
                                  G 
Neither borning here nor birthing 
        Cmaj7               Em 
Neither dying here nor death 

           Am                  C/E 
And we're wrapped inside our troubles 
           Am                 C/E 
And we're wrapped inside our pain 

     Em                       G 
And wracked with fires with longing 
        Cmaj7                 Em 
And our eyes are blind with night 
                             G 
With our fingers clutching coins 
        Cmaj7                  Em 
And our thoughts burning with 'I' 
                         G    
And our eyes cannot be sated 
          Cmaj7            Em 
With the world and its nightmares 
                          G 
With the world and its dreams 
         Cmaj7             Em 
Though later they'll be filled 

        Am               C/E 
With a small handful of dust 
        Am                   C/E 
And the gods appear on the altars 

 Em                 G 
And we recognise their face 
        Cmaj7             Em 
It's a face that we have carved there 
                              G 
And it's full of fear and longing 
      Cmaj7            Em 
And promises and threats 
                             G 
But they neither stoop to conquer 
     Cmaj7             Em 
Nor do they stoop to praise 
                              G 
And the mines are void of diamonds 
     Cmaj7             Em 
That we carry in our rags 

Thungder Perfect Mind 

Am            Cmaj7 
Then all the world seems 
   Em 
A sadness song 
            G   Cmaj7 
A sadness song 
           Em 
A sadness song 
             G          Cmaj7 
And all the world seems 
           Em 
A sadness song
