The Granite Gaze Chords by Lankum

_ _ Are we [F#] the ones _ _ [F#m] _ _ left [E] _ behind
_ By _ [F#m] those who _ _ _ weep?
Cords [E] that _ wind
_ They [A] draw them out _ _ _
From our [E] very _ _ _ bones
And [F#m] wind _ turn _ _
Turn on [E] our _ own _
_ _ [F#m] Stow the loin _
_ _ In [E] horsehair _ shirts
_ _ [F#m] We queued up
_ To eat [E] the dirt
_ _ We [A] traded _ _ loans
_ On narrow [E] _ _
_ streets
Can bite [F#m] the hand
_ _ When you've [E] no _ _ _ teeth
And it's [A] a _ standing ovation
_ [E] For the shadow of a _ stone
[F#m] As we dig into the soil beneath [E] our _ own
_ _ _ [A] The future's further day by [E] day
As our fathers turn away
And [F#m] leave us clinging to [E] a mother
Who eats [D] her _ _ _ _ [E] own
[D] _ _ _
_ _ The _ [F#] granite _ _ _ gaze
Upon us [E] _ _
_ now
As _ [F#m] skulking _ _ _ moss
[E] Recalling _ _ [F#m] _ hell
To [A] quiet the secret
And tell [C#m] no _ _ lies
For there [F#m] we own
_ _ Those same [E] stone _ _ eyes
[C#m] And it's [A] the last gasp of wonder
For [E] a cred, not a drone
[F#m] As our daughters sneak away
Across [E] the _ _ foe
_ _ [A] The future's just a thing we say
[E] To keep this sordid past at bay
Still [F#m] we cling on to [E] the mother
Who eats [D] her own _ _

We _ [G] are [F#] the [F#m] one _ _ _ Left _ [E] behind
_ _ In _ [F#m] swaddling bound
_ _ With [E] bailing toil
_ _ They [A] stole them well
From _ our very [E] _
_ _ _ bones
And we [F#m] in turn
_ _ _ Turned [E] into one
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
