    The little riff played over the D chords in the verse is
  • normally played by a separate guitar from the one that's strumming.
     
    What I do when playing this alone is:
  • e|-------2-----2-2---|
    B|---3-----3---3-3---|
    G|---2-2-----2-2-2---|
  • D|---0---------0-0---|
    A|---0---------0-0---|
    E|-------------------|
  • Then on to the Bb and so on.
     
    (Three muted strums)
  • D Bb G D Bb C D F A
     
    D Bb G D
  • A cold and wet November dawn
    Bb C D
    And there are no barking sparrows
  • F A D
    Just emptiness to dwell upon.
     
  • Bb G D
    I fell into a winter slide
    Bb C D
  • And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
    F A
    Just sneaking out my measly pies.
  •  
    G D A D
    But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
  • G D F A
    Know there is this side of me that
    G D A D
  • Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
    G D F A
    Fly the whole mess into the sea.
  •  
    D Bb G D
    Another slow train to the coast
  • Bb C D
    Some brand new gory art from way on high
    F A D
  • I sink and then I swim all night.
     
    Bb G D
  • I watch the ice melt on the glass
    Bb C D
    While the eloquent young pilgrims pass
  • F
    And leave behind their trail
    C A
  • Imploring us all not to fail.
     
    G D A D
  • Of course I was raised to gather courage from those
    G D F A
    Lofty tales so tried and true, but
  • G D A D
    If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
    G D F A
  • Modern thought can get the best of you.
     
    Bm D G A G A
  • This rather simple epitaph can save your hide, your falling mind
    Bm D G A G A
    Fate isn't what we're up against; there's no design, no flaws to find
  • G A G A
    There's no design, no flaws to find.
