[Verse 1]
F Gm C
When you're out beyond the pale
F Gm C
Hear the far off sirens wail
F A#
And this life don't measure up
F A#
Real life ain't real enough
F Dm
Light your candle
Am Gm C
Put it in my window
[Verse 2]
F Gm C
When you're all but obsolete
F Gm C
And you're wallowing in defeat
F A#
And you long for some kind of grace
F A#
Something they can't take away
F Dm
Hold on tight
Am Gm C
I'll meet you in the mornin'
[Verse 3]
F Gm C
When the sun will meet the sky
F Gm C
Set the heavens all alight
F A#
Take a look before it's gone
F A#
Nothing really lasts for long
F Dm
All the cities and walls
Am Gm C
I'd see 'em all burn for you
[Chorus]
Dm
In the shade of the poplar tree
F
On the high noon's whispered breeze
Gm Am A# C F C
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
F Gm C 4x
[Verse 4]
F Gm C
When the gallows are being built
F Gm C
You can see from your window sill
F A#
All the things you might've done
F A#
Burning up in the morning sun
F Dm
Come evening time
Am Gm C
We'll be swingin'
[Verse 5]
F Gm C
The night is ours lets not forget
F Gm C
We haven't lost anything yet
F A#
Ain't it all been like a dream
F A#
I for one don't care what it means
F Dm
I'll be alright
Am Gm C
They won't break me
[Verse 6]
F Gm C
When the heart is overflowed
F Gm C
With a joy no vessel can hold
F A#
Everything comes back to you
F A#
Just the way you want it to
F Dm
Like a water winds
Am Gm C
To the ground that's breaking
[Chorus]

In the shade of the poplar tree

On the high noon's whispered breeze

By the banks of the river falling

On the line where the star's revolving

By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
