Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
As you lie before me F1now, like a shadow
On a pea green sea
Never tF1 hought that I could find you so hollow
Laying into me
But this cup of wine
All salt and brine makes me sleepy G1
A sorrow so
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny G1
But I don't know
I've got nothing to hold on to
Wished for gold so I could F1buy you a palace
By the riverside
You'd cF1 ome in and I would fill your diamond chalice
You were still alive
But this cup of wine
All salt and brine makes me sleepy G1
A sorrow so
A field of tears, that will never yield a single penny G1
But I don't know
I've got nothing to hold on to G1
I've got nothing to hold on to
G1
Were you sleepless, G1tearing at the air?
Was the water everywhere?
Were you fretful, to G1wade into the room?
I'd been wanting to hear from you
Oh, no
| | | (Same timing as > > )
Hand it over (hand it over)
Hand it over (oh)
You're weary, lay him down
You G1 did your time so thank you very much
Hand it over (hand it over)
Hand it over (oh)
So now your hopes are all laid
But you hand it all away
G1
Did his eyelids G1fix on empty chairs
You had traveled to lay beside?
A gentle torture to waG1tch it all recede
And all the while your mother slept beside him
Oh, no
Hand it over (hand it over)
Hand it over (oh)
You're weary, lay him down
You G1 did your time so thank you very much
Hand it over (hand it over)
Hand it over (oh)
So now your hopes are all laid
But you hand it all away
G1
Were you sleepless, tG1earing at the air?
Was the water everywhere?
Were you fearful, and G1long to run away
From the cold clasp of Illinois?
Oh, no
Oh, No
Hand it over (hand it over)
Hand it over (ooooooh)
You're weary, lay him down
You G1 did your time so thank you very much
Hand it over (hand it over)
Hand it over (oh)
So now your hopes are all laid
But you hand it all away
But you hand it all away
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
G1
