Chords for James Vincent McMorrow - This Old Dark Machine

_ _ _ Spring it came upon us, [Gm] every insect filled the air
Dropped [F] their wings upon my brother, [Cm] cast their shadows on his head
_ If we [Gm] follow where they're [Cm] leading, we [Gm] will surely come before
_ [F] Someone seen in wondrous magic, [Cm] made the visions to explore
[Bb] _ [F] In the town where we were living, [Cm] lying low, low, bent far
And [F] every year we plant an orchid [Cm] in the shelter of a song
To [F] protect us from the maddening [Cm] of the future still to come
It [Gm] will be like this forever, [Eb] it will keep us safe, [F] ha
_ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, [Gm] whoa, whoa, _ whoa, whoa, [C] _ whoa, whoa, whoa, [Cm] whoa, whoa, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ whoa, whoa
They call us in the summer, _ [Gm] dressed in fathers finest _ [Eb] clothes
[F] In the hardy water market, _ [Eb] [Cm] island jacket filled with hope
_ I've been searching all these hours for [Gm] a hand to play with
_ That [F] will keep the strongest sunlight _ [Cm] and reflect the brightest moon
[Eb] _ [F] Yeah, the town where we were living [C] was [Cm] a warm and fragrant smell
_ [F] Of that orchard we had planted, [Eb] now [Cm] a forest tall, well
[Eb] _ [F] Put a statue to our great land, [Eb] what [Cm] a story all will tell
_ [Gm] They'll remember us forever, _ [Eb] they'll remember where [F] we fell
[Cm] _ _ Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Gm]-oh _ _ _ _ -oh-oh [C]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Cm]-oh-oh-oh-oh _ _ _ _ _ -oh
This old archer she shakes out the [Bb] shandams, calls to the land
Dies near the [F] gutter, still in the room, traffic is [Cm] silent
People just stare, their nights are [Ab] violent
If they should touch the hem of your [Cm] dress
I will rise like a lion, strike out [Eb] and kill
_ Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow, [Bb] rainbow by the sun _
_ _ [F] The other town where we were living
[C] [Cm] Came alive and joy was sound
_ [F] As the earth and all her beauty
_ [Cm] Picked us up from all the _ ground
[F] Yeah, we fall across the mountain
[Cm] To a kingdom never bound
_ [Ab] We will live like this forever
_ [Eb] Our love, our [G]
love, _ [Cm] our love _ _ _
