[Intro]
Bb F x4

Bb                                                                                                    F
Smoke it flies from whisky mouths / vagabonds walk this suitcase town
Bb                                                                                          F
summer left us beckoning / the cottonwoods were all worn out
Bb                                                                                         F
night comes fixing on the day / and the universe reigned again
                   Dm    F                  Bb           Dm
while the wheels roll, to find a flickering light

Bb                       F                         C                Gm
While you were sleeping I was the turning the dials
              Bb                  F                            C    Gm
and I walled up your kingdom with radio wires
               Bb               F               C          Gm
and the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling
                                         Bb
..aw, you should-a heard them...

[Instrumental]
Bb F (2x)

   Bb                                                               F
Living here in this city on fire, well I’ve been fine
           Bb                                                                             F
just dancing drunk above the street / me the ghost of Caroline
        Bb
and that was me, ya know, calling up above /
                                                  F
from the steeples in the church yard
                   Dm     F                   Bb               Gm
watch the wheels roll to find another place home

Bb                       F                   C                      Gm
While you were sleeping, you bet that I might
Bb              F         C          Gm
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide
               Bb             F                  C         Gm
and the kingdom it came, well it all fell down
                   Bb
it all fell to dust / and it all fell...

Dm Bb C C (6x)

Bb                      F                           C               Gm
While you were sleeping I was the turning the dials
Bb            F          C          Gm                     Bb
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide...
