C on 8th fret and Dm on 5th fret).

[Intro]
Am Bb C Dm
Am Bb C Dm
[Verse 1]
DmCold Gmlight of the Dmstars’ descAment
A Dmflag drew a Gmline in the wDmind
If GmI was awDmake there's a Gmworld that I Dmleft
Never Amfar behinDmd
From the Gmtime that DmI spent on the AmArctic Dmice
One moon has a Gmname
Only Gmone to a Dmdreaming host
But in the night she's aGmshamed
Till her drop through a daDmrkened
Sea beloAmw beyond the worlBbd
How Adeep does the Dmwater go?
[Interlude]
Am Bb C Dm
Am Bb C Dm
[Verse 2]
DmCold Gmtrail of the Dmlast Amascent
A Dmcross held a Gmsign in the Dmwind
And Gmtime fell Dmaway
With the Gmsound of each Dmstep
If the Amstars alDmigned then
For Gmus they were Dmmeant in the Amlunar Dmsky
[Verse 3]
That moon has a Gmname
In the Gmfires of a Dmsilver coast
And on the ice IGm'm afraid
Of the drop through a Dmdarkened
Sea beloAmw beyond the worlBbd
How Adeep does the Dmwater go?
[Outro]

[Intro]

Am Bb C Dm

[Verse 1]

Dm Gm Dm Am

Cold light of the stars’ descent

Dm Gm Dm

A flag drew a line in the wind

Gm Dm Gm Dm

If I was awake there's a world that I left

Am Dm

Never far behind

Gm Dm Am Dm

From the time that I spent on the Arctic ice

One moon has a name

Gm Dm

Only one to a dreaming host

But in the night she's ashamed

Till her drop through a darkened

Am Bb

Sea below beyond the world

A Dm

How deep does the water go?

[Interlude]

Am Bb C Dm

[Verse 2]

Dm Gm Dm Am

Cold trail of the last ascent

Dm Gm Dm

A cross held a sign in the wind

Gm Dm

And time fell away

Gm Dm

With the sound of each step

Am Dm

If the stars aligned then

Gm Dm Am Dm

For us they were meant in the lunar sky

[Verse 3]

That moon has a name

Gm Dm

In the fires of a silver coast

And on the ice I'm afraid

Of the drop through a darkened

Am Bb

Sea below beyond the world

A Dm

How deep does the water go?

[Outro]

Am Bb C Dm

Am Bb

C Dm
