James Vincent McMorrow � This old dark machine Capo 3 Am Em Spring it came upon us, every insect filled the air D Am dropped their wings upon my brother, cast their shadows on his hair Am Em If we follow where they're leading, we will surely come before D Am some unseen and wondrous magic made of visions to explore D Am Near the town where we were living was an old abandoned farm D Am every year we'd plant an orchid in the shelter of it's arm D Am to protect us from the madness of the future still to come Em F D it will be like this forever I will keep you safe from harm Am Em D Am Oohoo Ohhoo Ohooo ohhooo Am Em Then they caught us in the summer dressed in fathers finest clothes D Am you the hat he wore to market I the jacket filled with holes Am Em I've been searching all these hours for a hand as pale as bone D Am that would keep the strongest sunlight and reflect the brightest stone D Am Near the town where we were living was a warm and fragrant smell D Am of the orchid we had planted. Now a forest tall and well D Am what a statue to our greatness. What a story all will tell Em F D they'll remember us forever. They'll remember where we fell Am Em D Am Oohoo Ohhoo Ohooo ohhooo Am G This old dark machine, it shakes and it shudders pulls to the left, D Then dies near the gutter but still in the road, the traffic is silent Am C the people they stare, and then they turn violent if they should touch, Am The hem of your dress. I would rise like a lion, strike out again C G the faithful they wait, the faithful they wait for the sign D Am Near the town where we were living was a loud and joyous sound D Am as the earth and all her beauty picked us up from off the ground D Am carried far across the mountain to a kingdom never bound F C D we will live like this forever. I will love you. I will love you. Am Em D Am I will love Ohoohhooo Am Em D Am Oohoo Ohhoo Ohooo ohhooo 3x
