[Eb] I hung out with [Db] the old [Bbm] folks in [Ab] the hope that I'd get [Eb] wise
I [Gm] was trying to bridge [Cm] the gap between [F] the great [Bb] divide
[Eb] Hung on every [Db] recollection in [Ab] the theater of [Eb] their eyes
[Gm] Begging up on this and [Cm] that [F] and the few that still [Bb] survive
[Eb] Call them up, [A] dust them off,
[D] let them [Gm] shine
[Ab] The ones who [Eb] hold on to the ones [F] they had to leave [Bb] behind
Those [Eb] that flew and [A] those that fell
The [D] ones that had to [Gm] stay [Ab] beneath the little [Eb] truss oceans [Bb] [Eb] away
They [Ab] [Eb]

[Ab] [Eb]
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] bend like trees in [Bbm] winter, [Ab] these shuffling old grey [Eb] lines
[Gm] Those snow white stars [Cm] still gather like [F] the belt [Bb] around Orion
[Eb] Just a touch of the faded [Bbm] lightning of the [Ab] powerful [Eb] design
Of [Gm] a generation [Cm] gathered [F] for maybe the [Bb] last time
[Eb] Call them up, [A] dust them off, [D] let them [Gm] shine
[Ab] The ones who [Eb] hold on to the ones [F] they had to leave [Bb] behind
Those [Eb] that flew and those [Cm] that fell
[D] The ones that had to [Gm] stay [Ab] beneath the little wooden [Eb] truss oceans [Bb]
[Eb] away
[Ab] [Eb] Oceans
[Gb] away where the green grass sways
[Ab] And the cool wind blows across the shadow [Db] of [Bbm] their [Eb] graves

Shoulder to shoulder, back in the day, [Ab] sleeping bones to rest in [Bbm] earth
Oceans away,
