This postcard tells you where we've been 
                           G 
And dirty dreams of pious men 
                             F 
Who wake in fear but sleep again 
                    G 
With what they've done 
                    C 
With what they've done 
                   G 
With all they've done 

                                 C 
Some prophet died but wrote it down 
                              G 
Our serpent bell is on the ground 
                             F 
And all the ladies singing loud: 
          G 
"Hallelujah" 
         C 
"Hallelujah" 
         G 
"Hallelujah" 

                                  F                 G 
The meadow birds have found the bones of righteous men 
               C                     G 
Like ragged clothes, like precious stones 
                           F               G 
And fell like evil in the end, in aid of them 
            C                  G 
Those evil men, those perfect men 

                          C 
Some knuckle broken on disease 
                                  G 
Which pulled a preacher off his knees 
                                F 
A callous whisper through the trees 
                  G 
Blows: "patience boy" 
                C 
"More patience boy" 
                G 
"More patience boy" 

                                C 
And watch her children by the flame 
                                 G 
The ones you gave your father's name 
                            F 
Whose evil and his love remained 
            G 
Inside you boy 
            C 
Inside you boy 
            G 
Inside you boy 

                                  F                 G 
The meadow birds have found the bones of righteous men 
               C                     G 
Like ragged clothes, like precious stones 
                           F               G 
And fell like evil in the end, in aid of them 
            C                  G 
Those evil men, those perfect men 

                                C 
We'll sing a song we've never heard 
                               G 
Formed out of small forsaken words 
                               F 
And all the while that this occurs 
                G 
We’ll love you all 
                C 
We’ll love you all 
                G 
We’ll love you all 

                                C 
And for the beauty that we've lost 
                                G 
The measured time for love it cost 
                               F 
Despite our feelings for the cross 
             G 
We love you all 
             C 
We love you all 
             G 
We love you all
