Verse:
E
I'm circling around you, we're headed for the starlight in noon time.

(Riff) (First Bar)

E
Our love will spiral there, then she'll remove and lay it there around me.

(Riff) (Second Bar)

C#m
Sometimes the starlight, sometimes the starlight disappears.

(Riff) (First Bar)

C#m                           D                   G
When we got to cross the river exausted, and think I had thought...


Oh I know that you wanted to.

(Riff) (Second bar)

Chorus:
Am                    Dm                     C
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.

Am                   Dm                  C
Something here comes back underneath the ground.

(Riff)

Verse:
E
One more low is coming, one more low is coming to take you.

(Riff) (First bar)

E
To gather up his favorite, he's gathering his favorite milkmaid.

(Riff) (Second bar)

C#m (Riff 2)
Don't let him take you, don't let him take you with him.

(Riff) (First bar)

C#m                                 D               G
Back when you're belonging could be innocent with a lovely sound.


And all the lovely sound.

(Riff) (Second bar)

Chorus:
Am                    Dm                     C
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.

Am                   Dm                  C
Something here comes back underneath the ground.

Am                    Dm                     C
Don't crawl under our arms when it draws you down.

Am                   Dm                  C
Something here comes back underneath the ground.

Outro:
Gm (Riff 3)

Gm
Come back here, her spiral hair.

Note: The verse is carried mostly by that sustaining organ-like
sound, and you'll notice it doesn't translate very well onto the
guitar, (at least not the way I transcribed it). So, I just listed
power chords. I'm sure you'll figure something out... or, play
it on an organ. It sounds nice.
