Intro
C#dim E N.C. Am N.C. Dm
These are the remains of you
[Verse 1]
Dm
Ancient, sacred relics of a faith that's dead and gone
Dm
G calf that's found too late and frozen, just outside the barn
G
These are them
Dm
These are them
Dm
The sad and sinkin' feeling on the red-eye into town
Dm
Buckin' off some bull you could have rode when you were young
G
These are them
Dm
These are them
[Chorus]
Dm
And although it brings me pain just to tell you
E
I've got to say, I'm kind of compelled to
N.C. Am N.C. Dm
For these are the remains of you
[Verse 2]
Dm
When you can't believe and see you're living under curse
Dm
Tryin' to treat disease to see it only getting worse
G
These are them
Dm
These are them
Dm
Callin' up an old friend to find she'd overdosed last spring
Dm
G man's voice on the phone at your place, six or seven rings
G
These are them
Dm
These are them
[Chorus]
Dm
And although it brings me pain just to tell you
E
I've got to say, I'm kind of compelled to
N.C. Am N.C. Abm
For these are the remains of you
[Bridge]
Am
Freezing drops of rain
Am
Pelts of otters slain
Am
Fortunes on the wane
Am
The vast unbroken plain
Am
Hatreds bred in haste
Am
Good men losing face
Am
Tragedy in space
Am
Resource gone to waste
Am
Peaceful culture aging
Am
Holocaustal rageings
Am
Defeats that we're still staging
Am N.C.
In wars that we're still waging
[Outro]
Bm N.C. E
There's nothing more I can do
N.C. Am
For these are the remains of you
