_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Gm] This place, [Bm] _ [G] with its old plantations, _ [D] these roads leading out [A] to the sea.
[D] _
[Gm] This day, [Bm] full of [G] promise and potential, Lord, [D] clay pigeons, [A] for you and me, [D] all of them,
all of them, [G] _ [D] all of them, all of them, [G] _ _ [D]
all of them, all of them, all of them, all of
them, all lined up.
[Gm] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] Huge crows, [Bm] _
[G] loitering by the curb, our [D] shared paths, unraveling behind [A] us like ribbons.
[D] I dreamed of vultures [Gm] in _ [Bm]
the [G] trees around our house, and cicadas, [D] and locusts, and the
shrieking [A] of innumerable gibbons.
All [D] of them, all of them, [G] all [D] of them, all of them, [G] all [D] of them, all of them, all of
them, all lined up.
_ _ _ [E] _ [A] How long [D] will we ride [G] this way about?
_ [Bm] _ [A] How long till [D] someone caves [G] under the pressure?
[E] _ [A] My dreams are [D] haunted by armies, [G] armies of ghosts.
Faces too [A] blurry to make out, numbers far too high to measure.
[D] _ [Gm] Your face, [Bm] like a vision straight [G] out of Holly Hobby.
_ [D] Late light, drizzling [A] through your hair.
[D] _ [Gm] Your eyes, [Bm] _
[G] twin volcanoes, bad [D] ideas, dancing around in there.
All, all of them, all of them, [G] _ [D] all of them, all of [G] them, [D] all of them, all of them, all
of them, all lined up.
