Bang The Drum Slowly Chords by Emmylou Harris

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I meant to ask you how [D] to fix [A] that car _ _
I [D] always meant to ask you [A] about the war
And [F#m] what you saw [D] across the bridge [A] too far
Did it leave us far?
Or how you navigated [D] wings of [A] fire and steam
Up where [D] heaven had no more secrets [A] to conceal
And [F#m] still you found the [D] ground beneath [A] your wheels
How [E] did it feel?
[A] _ _
[D] Bang the drums slowly
[A] Play the pipe lowly
To [E] dust be returning
[A] From dust we begin _
[D] Bang the drums slowly
[A] I speak of things holy [F#m] above
[D] And the only [A] world without
I _ _ _ _ meant to ask you
[D] How when everything [A] seemed lost
_ [D] Your faith was in a game of dice [A] they tossed
There [F#m] was still that [D] line that you'd [A] never cross
At any [E] cost _
[A] I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
With nothing [D] but your heart up your sleeve
[A] _
_ [F#m] And if you [D] ever really were [A] deceived _
By the lights of [E] me
_ [D] Bang the drums slowly
[A] Play the pipe lowly
To [E] dust be returning
[A] From dust we begin
_ [D] Bang the drums slowly
I [A] speak of things holy [F#m] above
And [A] the only world without _ _
[E] Gone now _ _ [D] _ _ there [A] is peace tonight
But _ _ _ the [E] song was to [D] be sung
By [A] the light of the moon you [E] hung
I meant [A] to ask you
How to plow that field _
[D] I meant to bring you water from [A] the well _ _
[F#m] And be the one [D] beside you when [A] you fell
Could you [E] tell?
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] Bang the drums slowly
[A] Play the pipe lowly
To [E] dust be returning
[A] From dust we begin
[D] Bang the drums slowly
[A] I speak of things holy [F#m] above
[A] And the only world without _
