Intro


Dm7        F
Blue light rain,
     Csus4    C
Whoa unbroken chain,
Am          Eb
Looking for familiar faces
F     Em           G        C    G
In an empty window pane.

Am  Am  C

Dm7               Fsus4
Listening for the secret,
Csus4             Am
Searching for the sound
C           G/B           Am
But I could only hear the preacher
        G             F        Em    G    C    G
And the baying of his hounds.

Am Am C

Dm7    F
Willow sky,
        Csus4           C
Whoa, I walk and wonder why,
F        G
They say love your brother,
F            Em                G     C    G
But you will catch it when you try.

Am Am  C

Dm7               Fsus4
Roll you down the line boy,
Csus4          Am
Drop you for a loss,
C        G/B           Am
Ride you out on a cold railroad
    G             F      Am       G   C
And nail you to a cross.

Tab Segment 4


Dm7          F
November and more,
     Csus4        C
As I wait for the score,
Dm7             Cmaj7
They're telling me forgiveness
F      Em           G
Is the key to every door.
  Dm7         Fsus4
A slow winder day
  Csus4      Am
A night like forever,
C    G/B    Am
Sink like a stone,
G            F       Em   Dm   C   Dm
Float like a feather.

Lilac rain, unbroken chain,
Dm7                Em     G
Song of the sawhet owl.

Cm7                        Fmaj7
Out on the mountain, it'll drive you insane,
Dm7                    Em      G
Listening to the winds howl

Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls,

Unbroken chain of sky and sea.

Unbroken chain of the western wind,
Dm7                      *Em   G
Unbroken chain of you and me.
