Capo   : 1st Fret
|./.  |: Repeat the previous Chord and Measure of 4-counts.
[Intro] (Fade in): 
|G    |: 5x
[Verse 1]
 |                 G|Em  
I dressed you in the morning,
     |                  C|G  
for a journey through the past.
  |           D        D/A|G  
We signed our names in shadows,
      |                 C|D  
that I promised you would last.
    |        Dm         C|G  
Main travelled roads before us,
    D/F#|    Em      D|C  
passing slowly out of sight.
   |        D      C|G  
The haunted valley chorus,
         |                 C|    G|./.   |./.   |./.
sweeping softly through the night.
[Verse 2]
   |                G|Em  
The last ones in were waiting,
         |               C|G  
for their call to take the stage.
   |        D        D/A|G  
And when the curtains opened,
               |          C|D  
they stood like lovers in a cage.
   |        Dm        C|G  
The crowd in perfect silence,
        D/F#|      Em           D|C  
closed their eyes to hide their shame.
   |         D         C|G  
The dressing rooms are empty,
       |         C|    G|./.
and nobody is to blame.
[Verse 3]
 |                       G|Em  
I walked through fields of honour,
         |               C|G  
where the gentle earth has bled.
   |         D         D/A|G  
The young men are still fighting,
       |               C|D  
and the forest tracks are red.
   |     Dm          C|G  
The hotel lifts are broken,
    D/F#|         Em        D|C  
and the trains are running slow.
   |          D     C|G  
The blind man at reception,
     |            C|    G|./.
never missed a single show.
[Verse 4]
    |              G|Em  
Main travelled roads behind me,
     |                C|G  
and a white bird in the sky.
 |      D       D/A|G  
A secret sign to show me,
         |             C|    D|
where the ocean comes to die.
     Dm      C|G  
I arose and left you,
     D/F#|      Em      D|C  
sleeping in your silent room.
 |       D      C|      G|./.   |./.
E-ternal is the warrior,
         |C          |G     |./.   |: Fade Out
who finds beauty in his wounds.
