Small Bones Of Courage

capo 2 Am C D We walk alone now with her Am C D The dogs have broken and turned Dm Am G Feed these words to the wind Dm Am G So they may one day return Am C D There's little left for us at all Am C D Our minds are open and learned Dm Am G Never in your days will you find a pair so burned Dm Am G And we slept with our backs against the weather Am C D As we lay on wet stones Am C D Before the fire's edge Dm Am G We swore to never eat from those bleeding hands again Dm Am G And we sang the words together in the embers Am C D ooh Dm Am G ooh Am C D Not a word, little widow, of the man I was before Am C D For the only frailness left is in the night Dm Am G When I cannot find the silver design to take your life Dm Am G And the shadows are too deep to find the light Am C D They do not reach the small bones of courage Dm Am G 'Stead left to the light by the small bones of courage Am C D There is a train that moves through the valley Am C D Its path is crooked and tied Dm Am G We're told we are but travellers upon its hellish ride Dm Am G But the coal will not burn longer than we will eat Am C D Still he's robbed the fire by the small bones of courage Am C D Scratch down the lace and bare your naked breast unto the sun Dm Am G Let the ghosts scream at the lightning in your eyes Dm Am G Turn all the horses gold, and watch them flee toward the life Dm Am G Where live the guardians of mercy and the mind Am C D Led through the fire by the small bones of courage Dm Am G Led through the fire by the small bones of courage Am C D ooh Dm Am G ooh Am C D There is little left for us at all Am C D Our minds are open and learned Dm Am G Never in your days will you find a pair so burned Dm Am G And we slept with our backs against the weather
