Chords for Over The Rhine - "Meet Me at the Edge of the World" (eTown webisode #431)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm Linford from the band Over the Rhine.
We're hanging out backstage after our E-Town performance, which was a lot of fun here at the
beautiful new E-Town Hall.
I don't know, we've always been fans of the show and and you know Nick and Helen are a
married couple kind of on a creative track, you know, and my wife and I are married and also you know
writing and performing together and so we feel a little bit of a kinship there.
It felt great walking in.
It's super artist-friendly.
_ _ The design
_ is really beautiful and thoughtful.
It feels really good.
I love the size of the room and we're fans.

One lone Tupelo stood against the iron weed,
the golden rod that tamed our need,
for something other than fear and greed.
Meet me at the edge of the world. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Expectations great and small,
_ unfettered us as I recall,
from dreams we scaled before the fall,
into the lap of the world. _
_ Cold hard tide like a rebar frames,
pale skeleton of the man remains.
A floating checks and [E] naming [A] names.
Paper airplanes to the edge of the world.
_ _ _ [Am] I [D] _ remember [A] their face,
all [D] the miles [A] we _ misplaced.
Leave behind all but one trace,
[E] and walk me to the edge [A] of the world. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That lone Tupelo soon will be on fire,
for all I know,
with God's grace,
and God's desire.
As autumn in Ohio _ spirals off
of the edge of the world.
_ Here we stand
on cold concrete ground.
Cause someone said
they like the sound.
I'm thankful
that they've hung around.
But I'm craving
the edge of the world. _
_ _ _ Is [D] it time to [A] disappear?
_ Oh,
[D] _ babe,
can [A] we just get out of here?
You and me,
love, and no one near.
[E] Walk me to the [A] edge
of the world.
_ _ [E] Meet me at the [A] edge
of the world.
_ [E] I'm waiting at the edge
[F#m] of the world. _ _ _ _ _
[E] Meet me at the
edge of [A] the world. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ Thank you. _
