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