D#m C# F1 D#m
As you lie before me now, like a shadow
C# D#m
On a pea green sea
F1 D#m
Never thought that I could find you so hollow
C# D#m
Laying into me
F#2 F
But this cup of wine
A#m G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D#* F#2
A sorrow so
F A#m G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D#* F#2
But I don't know
F A#m
I've got nothing to hold on to
D#m C# F1 D#m
Wished for gold so I could buy you a palace
C# D#m
By the riverside
F1 D#m
You'd come in and I would fill your diamond chalice
C# D#m
You were still alive
F#2 F
But this cup of wine
A#m G1
All salt and brine makes me sleepy
D#* F#2
A sorrow so
F A#m G1
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny
D#* F#2
But I don't know
F A#m G1 D#* F#2
I've got nothing to hold on to
F A#m
I've got nothing to hold on to

F#2 G1 A#m
Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?
F#2 G#2 A A#m
Was the water everywhere?
F#2 G1 A#m
Were you fretful, to wade into the room?
F#2 G#2
I'd been wanting to hear from you
A A#m
Oh, no
F#2 | G#2 | F#2 | C# (Same timing as G#2 > A > A#m
C#
Hand it over (hand it over)
A#m
Hand it over (oh)
F#2
You're weary, lay him down
G1
You did your time so thank you very much
C#
Hand it over (hand it over)
A#m
Hand it over (oh)
F#2 G#2
So now your hopes are all laid
A A#m
But you hand it all away
A#m | F#2 | G1 | A#m
A#m | F#2 | G#2 | A | A#m
A#m F#2 G1 A#m
Did his eyelids fix on empty chairs
F#2 G#2 A A#m
You had traveled to lay beside?
F#2 G1 A#m
A gentle torture to watch it all recede
F#2 G#2 A A#m F#2
And all the while your mother slept beside him
G#2 F#2 C#
Oh, no
C#
Hand it over (hand it over)
A#m
Hand it over (oh)
F#2
You're weary, lay him down

Hand it over (hand it over)

F#2 G1 A#m
Were you sleepless, tearing at the air?
F#2 G#2 A A#m
Was the water everywhere?
F#2 G1 A#m
Were you fearful, and long to run away
F#2 G#2
From the cold clasp of Illinois?
A A#m
Oh, no
F#2 G#2 F#2
Oh, No
C#
Hand it over (hand it over)
A#m
Hand it over (ooooooh)
F#2
You're weary, lay him down
G1
You did your time so thank you very much
C#
Hand it over (hand it over)
A#m
Hand it over (oh)
F#2 G#2
So now your hopes are all laid
A A#m F#2 G#2
But you hand it all away

But you hand it all away

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
