No more sun

Bm
Then it came to me in a flash of light
Bm
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
Bm
In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day
Bm
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
Bm Bm Bm
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
Bm Bm
Held my head up and it struck me down
Bm
Down to the ground
Gm
And it struck me down, struck me down
Bm
Struck me down to the ground

Bm
When it ain't up, wonder where it go
Bm
Hold the sea as somewhere to row
Bm
Over did then dead heroes
Bm
Make it easy and sunny and go
Bm
We hold the sea and know the unknown
Bm
Old Man Dan, 'cause some of them are low
Bm
Wondering 'bout where do we go
Bm
Until then, we boat
[Chorus]
