Bell X1 - Nightwatchmen
Verse
 Am-  F/C- C/G  
Chorus
 G- F/C  
(last line -  Am-  F/C- C/G)
the last verse and Chorus have slight distortion and power chords, but works fine on
acoustic without them
To the girl among nightwatchmen
My other, my joy
With your oil-drum fire
You were my gentle unfolding
The wool and the dye
The needle and eye
These songs you sing
as you waltz her up the stairs
And the boy smiles
at the wheels of the chair
We are loved for these
things that pass us by
All we're good for
As the sand flows into the hourglass
You hold every grain
That it might remain
Part of me wants to see you crumble
Like those toys on a plinth
Pool of alabaster limbs
Into my arms,
so that I might have my place
Although the crutch may just
serve to dull the only blade
That you brought to this fight
Let's go another round
Let's go another round
To the girl among nightwatchmen
The long fingers of morning
Will take you by the hand
Precious stones,
they're all spoken for
You've chosen the tunes,
Everything is just so, just so
And now birdsong,
ice clinking in the sun
Dripfeed
Of gentle talk
and pleasantries
And I wait for a gap in the traffic
To tell her I'll always hold you close
It's all I'm good for

acoustic without them

To the girl among nightwatchmen

My other, my joy

With your oil-drum fire

You were my gentle unfolding

The wool and the dye

The needle and eye

These songs you sing

as you waltz her up the stairs

And the boy smiles

at the wheels of the chair

We are loved for these

things that pass us by

All we're good for

As the sand flows into the hourglass

You hold every grain

That it might remain

Part of me wants to see you crumble

Like those toys on a plinth

Pool of alabaster limbs

Into my arms,

so that I might have my place

Although the crutch may just

serve to dull the only blade

That you brought to this fight

Let's go another round

To the girl among nightwatchmen

The long fingers of morning

Will take you by the hand

Precious stones,

they're all spoken for

You've chosen the tunes,

Everything is just so, just so

And now birdsong,

ice clinking in the sun

Dripfeed

Of gentle talk

and pleasantries

And I wait for a gap in the traffic

To tell her I'll always hold you close

It's all I'm good for
