Dorian by Agnes Obel

Standart Tuning with Capo II

Em G C

They won't know who we are

Em G C

So we both can pretend

Em G C

It's written on the mountains

Em G C

A line that never ends

Em G C

As the devil spoke we spilled out on the floor

Em G C

And the pieces broke and the people wanted more

Em G C

And the rugged wheel is turning another round

C Em D

Dorian, carrion,

C Em D

Will you come along to the end

C Em D

Will you ever let us carry on

Em G C

Swaying like the children,

Em G C

Singled out for praise

Em G C

The inside out on the open,

Em G C

With the straightest face

Em G C

As the sad-eyed woman spoke we missed our chance,

Em G C

The final dying joke caught in our hands

Em G C

And the rugged wheel is turning another round

C Em D

Dorian, carrion,

C Em D

Will you come along to the end

C Em D

Will you ever let us carry on

C Em D

Dorian will you follow us down
