It was early dawn when we met [G] out on the hillside. _ _
On our way [D] to a wedding fair, to drink ourselves dry [C] and make a noise there.
[Am]
Six dead and last and [D] the young and bored.
_ _ _ Losing [E] my head in the sand.
He promised me not [G] to watch for him.
He's never slept out [D] of the phone before.
And he looked to her though [C] he troubled him more.
[Am] He gave her a lot of work, [D] but it cost him more.
_ He _
_ [E] _ thought she was gone when he [G] first saw her. _ _
Faced in [D] the candlelight, the blood of Christ.
_ [C] _ _ She looked [Am]
up and stared [D] straight away.
Her eyes were set, [E] she spoke through the wall.
He said, I'm leaving, I'm [G] going, I'll meet you tomorrow.
By the way, I told [D] her to cross with you.
I'm going [C] to look in the mirror [Am] and see if you're what [D] I say. _
_ You're not what [Em] I say.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [E] _ I'm not what you might say.
We walked [G] into the road again.
_ _ Four miles of [D] dead ground.
We had to find time to get up [C] the next day.
[Am] We waited in the road [D] that was a long time ago.
But the boy never came.
I [Em] didn't need no help.
I was not what you might say.
I heard the old [G] _
man's last words.
But I can't speak.
[D] The boy and the girl were gone.
_ [C] The boy and the girl _ _ [Am] _ _ were [D] gone.
The boy walked back to his mind.
He got a little tired.
He got a [E] little drunk.
He drank a little.
He got a little dirty.
[G] He scratched his face.
He called her name.
[D] He spelt her name.
_ And she never [C] seen her face _ [Am] again.

_ _ _ [G] He never [E] came near her eyes.
I was tired.
[G] I went back to that inn to see what I'd find.
[D] But the wind was too cold to hold that light.
[C] I lost the [Am] light.
_ Like [D] a line of steps, you're walking dead.
[E] From walking [Em] on down my walking chain.
[G] Time is back down, so I cry.
[D] No one for a while, I think of that night.
[C] Stop, stop [Am] and leave it right there.
[D] We're almost done, you guys.
_ I remember [E] the way you said,
_ _ Stop _ and [Em] leave it [E] right there.
_ _ _ [Em] We're almost _ _ _ done, _ [E] _ _ _
you guys.

[G] _ _ _ [E] so sweet. _ _

[D] sweet.

[Am] You're so sweet.
You're so [Em] sweet. _ _ _
