Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

: 133211 or xx3211

Hammer on / pull off the D string after the first strum when going from C to Cadd4 in

the verses

Try not to play the high E string during the chorus

Under the silence of water,

Into a sky full of birds

Out from the land of our fathers,

 I am falling on your words,

Oh...

Dark as the night of a preacher,

I made a bed out of hay

They paid me a handful of money,

 I gave it all away...

All away...

 And the righteous raised their stones

 And the devil threw his arrow

 That was longing for a home

 With nowhere to go,

Oh, Theo...

In the half-life of the city,

She took off all of her clothes

I flew from the height of the mountains

 Into a valley of dry bones

All alone

 Then my heart was still unknown

 I was drunk and full of sorrows

 I was longing for a home

 With nowhere to go,

Oh, Theo...

So, I set fires of starlight,

To burn up against the despair

I was caught in the tangles of midnight's

Long, unanswered prayer:

'Are you there?'

 And the light of morning grows

 On a field of fallen sparrows

 I was longing for a home

 With nowhere to go,

Oh, Theo...
