Down The Burning Ropes

Capo on 5th fret
	  		


Intro: Am  

Am 
When the hills let go 
Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover 
                      G 
On a ship filled with ghosts 
                    Am 
It's something to behold 

Am 
When the paper thin girls 
With twisting little braids in their hair, 
                               G 
They take off their coats and throw 
Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat, 
           F 
Crying out 
            G                      Am 
The stones they float, the stones they float 
          F            G                          Am    
Oh my God, the stones they float, the stones they float 

Am 
Down the burning ropes 
Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies 
                            G 
You make your bed under the moonlight 
                           Am 
I think it's time we said goodbye 

Am 
Cause nothing moves in the warm air 
And words that once would cut like a knife, 
                                 G 
They just hang in the cloud and you're 
Pushed by the lord, 
                                 F 
But you're pulled by the crowds and 
           G                 Am 
You're overboard, you're overboard 
          F          G                Am 
Oh my God, she's overboard, she's overboard 

Am                 G    F
My love she's overboard 
               Am G F          
She's overboard 
                         Am G F 
My love she's over board 

Some uuuhs and aaaaahs with Am G F 

Am 
Not a shell unbroken 
In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay 
                         G 
It's not the time to be hanging around here 
                     Am 
You know what some might say 

Am 
That people get too reckless 
That even with the simplest of crimes 
They leave, blood behind, 
     G                                      F 
As I clean the knife for the very last time 
       G                  Am 
I think she knows, I think she knows 
          F       G                   Am 
Oh my God, I think she knows, I think she knows 

I think she know 

Uuuuhs and aAaahhs with Am G F
