_ [F] _ _ You'll find me sitting at this [C] table _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ With my friend Finn and my friend [C] John
_ My _ [F] _ _ _ friend Madani tells us _ [Bb] stories
_ Of things long gone, long _ [C]
gone
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
And we may take a glass [C] together
[F] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
But [Bb] whiskey makes it all so [C] _
clear
_ It _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] fires our dulled imaginations
[Bb] _
_ _ And it feels [F] so near, so _ _ near
_ It feels so near to the howling [Bb] of the winds
_ It feels [F] so near to the crashing of [Bb] the waves
It feels so _ [F] near to the [Dm] flowers in [Bb] the fields
_ _ It feels [F] so near
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The old man looks out to [C] the _ islands _ _ _
_ _ _ Says this [Bb] place is [C] endless thin
_ There's _
_ [Dm] _ _ no real distance here to [Bb] mention
_ We might all fall [F] in, all [C] fall _ in
_ _ _ _ [F] No distance to the spirits of the [C] living
_ No _ _ [F] _ _
distance [Bb] to the spirits of the _ dead
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] And as he [C] turned his eyes were [Bb] shining _
_ And he proudly _ [F] said, proudly _ _ _ said
I [F] feel so near to the howling of [Bb] the winds
It _ _ _ feels so [F] near to the crashing of [Bb] the waves
_ _ It feels so [F] near to [Dm] the flowers [C] in [Bb] the fields
_ _ It feels [F] so near
_ [G] _ _ _

_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [F] And so we [Bb] build our tower _ [C] _ constructions
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ There to mark our place in [C] time
_ _ We _
_ [Dm] _ _ justify [Am] our great [Bb] _ destructions
_ As on we [F] climb, on we [C] climb
_ _ _ _ [F] _ Now the journey [Bb] doesn't seem to [C] matter _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ The _ [Bb] destinations _ faded [C] out
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
Gathering [C] out along the [Bb] headline
_ I hear the children _ [F] shout, children _ shout
I feel so near to the howling of [Bb] the winds
It _ _ _ feels so _ near to the crashing of the waves
It feels _ _ so [Dm] near _ _ to the flowers in [Bb] the fields
_ _ It feels [F] so near _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
It feels so near to the howling [G] of the winds
_ It feels [F] so near _ to the crashing [G] of the waves
_ It feels so [F] near _ to the flowers in the [G] fields
_ _ It feels [Dm] so [F] near to the howling [Bb] of the winds
_ _ It feels so [F] near to the crashing of the [Bb] waves
_ _ It feels so near [F] _ to the [Dm] flowers in the fields
[Bb] _ It _ feels [F] so near _ _ _ _
