[Verse 1]

C                               D

  We found your name across the chapel door

G                          C

  Carved in cursive with a table fork

G                        C                      D    D

  Muddy hymnals and some boot marks where you'd been

[Verse 2]

C                               D

  The shaking preacher told the captain's man

G                           C

  The righteous suffer in a fallen land

G                                   D                  G  G

  Then pulled the shade to keep the crowd from peeking in

[Verse 3]

C                               D

  We found your children by the tavern door

G                            C

  With wooden buttons and an apple core

G                           C              D       D

  Playing house and telling everyone you'd drowned

[Verse 4]

C                            D

  The begging choir told the captain's man

G                             C

  We all assume the worst the best we can

G                               D                G    G

  And for a round or two they'd gladly track you down

[Instrumental]

C D G C G C D D   (x2)

[Verse 5]

C                               D

  We found you sleeping by your lover's stone

G                       C

  A ream of paper and a telephone

G                       C         D      D

  A broken bow across a long lost violin

[Verse 6]

C                             D

  Your lover's angel told the captain's man

G                          C

  It never ends the way we had it planned

G                                   D                G     G

  And kissed her palm and placed it on your dreaming head
