Old Statues

	  		

*Throughout the song the E and A strings are picked in place of strumming in some  
parts, but this is not essential.  
**On the transition from Dm to Em7 you can play a quick {030000}. 

Intro: 

Am C/G Em Am x2 


verse 1: 
  
 Am                  C/G 
 I awoke troubled by awful sounds 
  Am                              C/G 
 Where the sky was dim and cities shining 
                             Fmaj7/C 
 One by one we're turning the old statue 
 Am                            C/G 
 Now I have seen all they have offered me 
 Am                           C/G 
 And all my words will simply die 
                              Fmaj7/C 
 One by one, we're turning the old statue 

 Am C/G Em Am Am C/G Em 


Chorus: 

  Fmaj7/C 
 Oh the leaves of the grass 

 Death beneath our feet 
  Em 
 has now given way there in the land mass 
 Dm                 Em7               Fmaj7 
 inhabits the earth many long years of wondering 

 Oh the water will part clear us of this mess 
  Em 
 Restore our good name grace us at our death 
    Dm                Em7 
 And rise from above, suddenly you feel in the air 

 Am C/G Em Am Am C/G Em 
  
 Am C/G Em Am-Em-Am 
 Ahh 


verse 2: 

 Am                    C/G 
 Wake inside and of the years you tried 
   Am                           C/G 
 If my mind relents then I will hide 
                             Fmaj7/C 
 One by one, we're turning to old statues  

 Am C/G Em Am Am C/G Em 


Chorus: 

  Fmaj7/C 
 Oh the leaves of the grass 

 Death beneath our feet 
  Em 
 has now given way there in the land mass 
 Dm                 Em7               Fmaj7/C 
 inhabits the earth many long years of wondering 

 Oh the water will part clear us of this mess 
  Em 
 Restore our good name grace us at our death 
    Dm                Em7 
 And rise from above, suddenly you feel in the air 
  
Outro:  

 Am C/G Em Am-Em-Am
