The Snow Abides - Antony Hegarty Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Through [Ab] the tiring streets, [Gm] gray flecked with the sun, [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] I'm [Eb] falling [Gm] and _ tumbling,
[Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Endowed in [Eb] snow gloss, [Gm] old dolly [Cm] size, _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _
[Ab] America's dream [Gm] of a restless _ [Fm] autumn.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
Snow _ [C] _ abides _ [Eb] when I saw [Bb] _ you, [Ab] my heart _ _ [Cm] _ _
borrows, _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Royal black and blue, [Gm] I am not _ lost, _
Yet little [Bb] star, _ [Ab] in the doorway I catch a [Cm] sign, _ _ _ _ _ _ shuddering still, [Ab] no there is too [Gm] much, there is too [Fm] much,
And can I, and [Fm] I cannot, [Ab] can I, snow _ [C] _ _ abides [Eb] when [Ab] I saw [Bb] you, _ [Ab] my heart _ [Cm] _ borrows, _ [Db]
ecstatic butterfly,
_ _ _ _ [Ab]
Slipping _ [Cm] away, _ _ _ [Eb] _
waving _ [Bb] goodbye, _ [Ab] leaving quick [Cm] silvered fire, _ _ _ and please on your way, _ _
_ _ _ When [Ab] I [Eb] exit, [Gm] and I recall your [Cm] eyes, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ laden depth and [Eb] dark [Gm] hinting at [Cm] space, _ _ _ _
Oh _ [Ab] the richness, [Gm] too much of everything, [Fm] _ _ numb on _ _ [Cm] uncreated, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Ab] Oh _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [C] to be _ [Gm] _
unborn, _ [Ab] to be _ [F] _
_ [Fm] unborn, _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Ab] Oh _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [C] to be _ [Gm]
unborn, _ [Ab] to be _ _ [Cm]
unborn,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Ab]
Like an angel [Gm] falling, whilst [Gm] I saw your [Cm]
eyes,
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
Fall [Eb] below the [Gm] clouds, drifting like _ [Cm] _
_ comets, _ _ _ _ [Ab]
ten, twenty years, [Gm] where will you [Cm] sleep?
You _ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
move for the sun, lie down in blossom, [Fm]
while the body can scarcely hold in, _
_ _ _ _ And man may not [Eb] bear the ghost form angelic, _ _ I heard someone whisper, as you ran [C] by me, _ waving goodbye.
