Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

Verse 1

There goes that old postman

Riding on his bike

He's got a bag full of phone bills

And nothing to justify

Chorus 1

I'm as naked as a winter tree

[G/f#]

With promises remote

[G/f#]

Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade

 Observe the world below

x 2

Verse 2

same as the first)

Once I had a calling

This town praised my hands

Now I'm sculpting apologies

Cause folks they don't understand

Chorus 2

same as the first chorus except the last chord does not resolve to a G,

rather it pulls to Em to start the bridge, so the last line should be as follows:)

 Observe the world below

Bridge

I could change myself

There's so much else I could do

Except I always knew

  [G/f#]

I was deeper than dailyness

 I was made to be manifest

  >

The art like an amethyst of truth

Verse 3

same as 1&2)

I know, it's only too clear

Spiders spin their webs year after year

I never had that kind of resolve

To know my fear, to face it at all

Chorus 3

I'm as naked as a winter tree

[G/f#]

With promises remote

[G/f#]

Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade

 Observe the world below yeah yeah

 Observe the world below
