[Verse 1]
C                               D
  We found your name across the chapel door
G                          C
  Carved in cursive with a table fork
G                        C                      D    D
  Muddy hymnals and some boot marks where you'd been
[Verse 2]
C                               D
  The shaking preacher told the captain's man
G                           C
  The righteous suffer in a fallen land
G                                   D                  G  G
  Then pulled the shade to keep the crowd from peeking in
[Verse 3]
C                               D
  We found your children by the tavern door
G                            C
  With wooden buttons and an apple core
G                           C              D       D
  Playing house and telling everyone you'd drowned
[Verse 4]
C                            D
  The begging choir told the captain's man
G                             C
  We all assume the worst the best we can
G                               D                G    G
  And for a round or two they'd gladly track you down
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
C                               D
  We found you sleeping by your lover's stone
G                       C
  A ream of paper and a telephone
G                       C         D      D
  A broken bow across a long lost violin
[Verse 6]
C                             D
  Your lover's angel told the captain's man
G                          C
  It never ends the way we had it planned
G                                   D                G     G
  And kissed her palm and placed it on your dreaming head
