VERSE 1:

 |G                 |Em
I dressed you in the morning,
     |C                  |G
for a journey through the past.
  |D                  |G
We signed our names in shadows,
      |C                 |D
that I promised you would last.
    |D7                |G
Main travelled roads be-fore us,
       |Em           |C
passing slowly out of sight.
   |D7            |G
The haunted valley chorus,
         |Am7               |G    |./.   |./.   |./.
sweet and softly through the night.

VERSE 2:

   |G                |Em
The last ones in were waiting,
         |C               |G
for their call to take the stage.
   |D                |G
And when the curtains opened,
               |C          |D
they stood like lovers in a cage.
   |D7              |G
The crowd in perfect sadness,
            |Em                  |C
caused their hearts to hide their shame.
   |D7                |G
The dressing rooms are empty,
       |Am7         |G    |./.
and the warden is to blame.

VERSE 3:

 |G                       |Em
I walked through fields of honour,
         |C               |G
where the gentle earth had laid.
   |D                  |G
The young men are still fighting,
       |C               |D
and the forest tanks are raised.
   |D7             |G
The hotel lifts are broken,
       |Em                |C
and the trains are running slow.
   |D7          |G
The blind man at reception,
     |Am7            |G    |./.
never missed a single show.

VERSE 4:

    |G              |Em
Main travelled roads behind me,
     |C                |G
and a white bird in the sky.
 |D             |G
A secret sign to show me,
         |C             |D    |
where the ocean comes to die.
D7         |G
I arose and left you,
        |Em            |C
sleeping in your silent room.
 |D7           |G    |./.   |./.
E-ternal is the wire,
         |Am7          |G    |./.   |: Fade Out
who finds beauty in his womb.
