Verse 1 chords: [or use verse/chorus tab]
There’s a Aman who lives on the sun, who makes it hEot for everyone
Make you run agDround, like a ship in the shallows, make your whole heart come undone
And you cAome back as the soil before you cEome back as a soul
And you'll be Dworn away by the rain in the rivers, before you had a chance to go...
Chorus chords: [or use verse/chorus tab]
To the great unAknown...o-o-Eown...o-o-Down
But you are not alAone...o-o-Eone...o-o-Done
In being on your Aown...o-o-Eown...o-o-Down
Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
There was a man from the end of the world, the weary weird end of the world
And he lost his grip on the very last crip, and fell dreaming of his best girl
And he came back as a goat, before he came back as a ghost
And he was worn away by the rain in the rivers, and he found himself...

On his own...o-o-own…o-o-own
And he is not alone...o-o-one...o-o-one

Makes us Erun aground like ships in the shallow
