Emily Acordes de ukulele

[Verse 1]
 
 Eb                    Gm                     F         Cm
The meadowlark and the chim-choo-ree and the sparrow
 
Eb                    Gm                     F         Cm
Set to the sky in a flying spree, for the sport of the pharaoh
 
Eb                    Gm                     F         Cm
Little while later the Pharisees dragged a comb through the meadow
 
Eb                    Gm                     F         Cm
Do you remember what they called up to you and me, in our window?
 
Eb                    Gm
There is a rusty light on the pines tonight
              F                  Cm
Sun pouring wine, lord, or marrow
Eb
Down into the bones of the birches
 Gm
And the spires of the churches
  F                  Cm
Jutting out from the shadows
Eb                             Gm                     F                  Cm
The yoke, and the axe, and the old smokestacks and the bale and the barrow
         Eb                    Gm
And everything sloped like it was dragged from a rope
  F         Cm
In the mouth of the south below
Ab                 C                  G       Am
We've seen those mountains kneeling, felten and grey
Ab                 C                  G       Am
We thought our very hearts would up and melt away
F         C      G        Am
From that snow in the nighttime
F     C
Just going
G    Am
And going
F         C      G        Am
And the stirring of wind chimes
Dm       G
In the morning
Dm        G
In the morning
F  Am  G
Helps me find my way back in
F  Am  G
From the place where I have been
 
 
[Interlude]
F  Am G
 
 
Em           A7
And, Emily - I saw you last night by the river
Em                                         A7
I dreamed you were skipping little stones across the surface of the water
Bm                D                  C                          Em
Frowning at the angle where they were lost, and slipped under forever
Bm                D                  C                           Em
In a mud-cloud, mica-spangled, like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror
Em        A7
Anyhow - I sat by your side, by the water
Em                                            A7
You taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger
Bm               D                   C                            Em
Though all I knew of the rote universe were those Pleiades loosed in December
Bm               D                   C                Em
I promised you I'd set them to verse so I'd always remember
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
Em
That the meteorite is a source of the light
A7
And the meteor's just what we see
Bm                      D
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid
C                       Em
Of the fire that propelled it to thee
 
Em
And the meteorite’s just what causes the light
A7
And the meteor’s how it’s perceived
Bm                      D
And the meteoroid’s a bone thrown from the void
C                       Em
That lies quiet and offering to thee
