Capo 1
                                     C
This postcard tells you where we've been
                           G
And dirty dreams of pious men
                             F
Who wake in fear but sleep again
                    G
With what they've done
                    C
With what they've done
                   G
With all they've done
                                 C
Some prophet died but wrote it down
                              G
Our serpent bell is on the ground
                             F
And all the ladies singing loud:
          G
"Hallelujah"
         C
"Hallelujah"
         G
"Hallelujah"
                                  F                 G
The meadow birds have found the bones of righteous men
               C                     G
Like ragged clothes, like precious stones
                           F               G
And fell like evil in the end, in aid of them
            C                  G
Those evil men, those perfect men
                          C
Some knuckle broken on disease
                                  G
Which pulled a preacher off his knees
                                F
A callous whisper through the trees
                  G
Blows: "patience boy"
                C
"More patience boy"
                G
"More patience boy"
                                C
And watch her children by the flame
                                 G
The ones you gave your father's name
                            F
Whose evil and his love remained
            G
Inside you boy
            C
Inside you boy
            G
Inside you boy
                                  F                 G
The meadow birds have found the bones of righteous men
               C                     G
Like ragged clothes, like precious stones
                           F               G
And fell like evil in the end, in aid of them
            C                  G
Those evil men, those perfect men
                                C
We'll sing a song we've never heard
                               G
Formed out of small forsaken words
                               F
And all the while that this occurs
                G
We’ll love you all
                C
We’ll love you all
                G
We’ll love you all
                                C
And for the beauty that we've lost
                                G
The measured time for love it cost
                               F
Despite our feelings for the cross
             G
We love you all
             C
We love you all
             G
We love you all
