from the album "Peace And Love"
Tombstone - as perfomed by The Pogues
Am GAm
Intro -
Am G
The night is dark, the moon is full
Am G Am
Across the blood red plain
G
Every step and every breath
Am G
Brings me nearer home
Em Am
The spirits watch me on my way
Em Am
They whisper on the wind
G
And when the dawn lights up the sky
Am G Am
I'll see my land again
FAmFAmG
Instramental break -
A hot wind blows the scrub and dust
across the barren land
Trees stand bare like skeletons
The mountains all torn down
The water holes are dry as bones
No birds are singing now
And faraway a city stands
Tombstones against the sky - 4x
Instramental part again
Am G Am
- - 3x
