Chords for Charlie Fink - 'The Howl' (Official Lyric Video)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ A bus is heading north, [C] descending through a mist
[C#] That was formed in the warmth where [Cm] the sea and night air kissed
[C#] The passengers [D#] arranged themselves [C] to sit in [Fm] isolation
[C#] They spread out [D#] along the aisle, [C] avoiding [Fm] conversation
[C#] When the engine started with [Fm] a howl _
Handling the road like [C] a wild untrained cow
[C#]
Creaking with its load, [Cm] the bus grinds to a halt
[C#] And I'm the only [D#] one [Cm] awake except [Fm] the driver
[C#] The night has been [D#] to take them all [Cm] and left us two [Fm] survivors
[C#] And then I [Cm] _ [Fm] heard the howl
_ [C#] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] The dog lay in our way, [C] spread out on the track
[C#] A long forgotten stray, [Cm] an empty void of black
[C#] The driver tried [D#] to move her on [Cm] but cowered back [Fm] in fear
[C#] She would either [D#] let us go [Cm] or we'd be stranded [Fm] here
[C#] But when I looked her in the eye, [G] I knew what I [Cm] must do
[C#] I reached deep down [Cm] into my soul to [G] my memories [Cm] of you
[C#] And I [Cm] _ [Fm] gave a howl
[D#] A howl of prayer full [G#] of hope
_ _ [D#] Like every song [G#] ever wrote
_ _ [Fm]
Born from a pit of [G] despair
_ [B] A sacrifice of truth [Cm] to the air
_ [G#] And knowing the meaning of [D#] a song
She [G]
hung her head and [Cm] was gone
Now _ [C#] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] the midnight bus is rolling on, [Cm] the passengers wake up
[C#] One of them is bleeding and [Cm] another's throwing up
[C#] Another two are [D#] fighting, [C] one begins [Fm] to yell
[C#] And I wonder surely [Fm] this is hell _ _ _
