Notes | | | | Bc | | | | verse 1 EB I hung out with the old folks in the hope that I’d get wise. I was trying to bridge the gap between the great divide. Hung on every recollection in the theatre of their eyes Picking up on this and that in the few that still survive. Call em up Dust em off Let em shine The ones who hold onto the ones they had to leave behind Those that flew those that fell The ones that had to stay Beneath a little wooden cross EB Oceans away REPEAT INTRO verse 2 (SAME CHORDS AS verse 1) They bend like trees in winter these shuffling old gray lions Though snow white start to gather like the belt around Orion. Just a touch of faded lightning of the powerful design Of the generation gathered for maybe the last time. REPEAT Chorus BRIDGE Oceans away where the green grass sways and the cool wind blows across the shadow of their graves. AB shoulder to shoulder back in the day sleeping bones to rest in Earth O - ceans away O - ceans away REPEAT Chorus REPEAT INTRO OUTRO: Single note fading into the distance
