Capo: 3rd fret
Intro:
F C
F C
I felt a funeral in my brain
F C
And mourners to and fro
F C
Treading – treading – ’til it seemed
D7 F
That sense was breaking through
F C
And when we all were seated
F C
A service, like a drum
F C
beating – beating – ’til I thought
D7 F
My mind was going numb
F/F#
My mind was growing
A7 A7
And then I heard them lift a box
Dm G
And creak across my soul
C
With those same boots of lead, again
A7 Dm G
Then space – space began to toll
F C
As all the heavens were a bell
F C
And Being but an ear
F C
And I, and silence, some strange race
D7 F
Wrecked, solitary, here
F C
And then a plank in reason broke
F C
And I dropped down, and down
F C
And hit a world at every plunge
D7 F
And finished knowing, then
F/F#
And finished knowing
A7 A7
And then I heard them lift a box
Dm G
And creak across my soul
C
With those same boots of lead, again
A7 Dm G
Then space – space began to toll
F C
I felt a funeral in my brain
F C
And mourners to and fro
F C
Treading – treading – ’til it seemed
