[A] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
After the wash,
[A] before [F#m] the fire, [A] [D]
I will [G] decay, [A]
melting [F#m] your arms.
[D]
As [G] the day [F#m] hits the [E] night, we [G] will sit by [F#m] candlelight.
[D] We [G] will laugh, we [F#m] will sing, [E] [Bm] when the seas come marching [D]
in.
[G]
[D]
[Em] [Bm]
[F#m] [A]
Before [Bm] a heart, before [D] a [A] brain, [F#m]
insects [Bm] and [G] grass [A]
are [D] all that bring.
[A]
[D] When [Bm] the [A] liles [B]
[D] [Bm] [A] stray through our [B] love, we [Bm] will [A] laugh, we will [D] sing, [Bm] when the [C#] saints go [A] marching in.
Carry [Bm] on.
[G] [A]
[Bm]
[G] [A]
[Bm] Oh, my Lord.
[G]
[A]
[Bm] The chill, the sun and the moon, the [F#m] heat and [Bm] the pain.
[G] And we'll do [A] well and [D] die, lifting to [G] the fire made [A] out of [Bm] cry.
We'll have nothing to lose, we'll have [A] nothing to gain, [D] just to stay [G] in this real life situation for one last
[D] time.
[G] As the day [F#m] hits the night, we will [G] sit by [F#m] candlelight.
We [Bm] will laugh, [F#m] [E]
we will sing, when [Bm] the saints go [D] marching in.
Carry on.
