[Verse 1]
A# Cm F
When you're out beyond the pale

Light your candle

Put it in my window

Something they can't take away

I'll meet you in the mornin'
[Verse 3]

When the sun will meet the sky
A# Cm F
Set the heavens all alight

Take a look before it's gone
A# D#
Nothing really lasts for long
A# Gm
All the cities and walls
Dm Cm F
I'd see 'em all burn for you
[Chorus]
Gm
In the shade of the poplar tree
A#
On the high noon's whispered breeze
Cm Dm D# F A# F
By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
A# Cm F 4x
[Verse 4]
A# Cm F
When the gallows are being built
A# Cm F
You can see from your window sill

All the things you might've done

Burning up in the morning sun

Come evening time

We'll be swingin'

The night is ours lets not forget

I for one don't care what it means

I'll be alright

They won't break me
[Verse 6]
A# Cm F
When the heart is overflowed
A# Cm F
With a joy no vessel can hold
A# D#
Everything comes back to you

Just the way you want it to

Like a water winds
Dm Cm F
To the ground that's breaking
[Chorus]

In the shade of the poplar tree

On the high noon's whispered breeze
Cm Dm D# F
By the banks of the river falling
Cm Dm D# F
On the line where the star's revolving

By the cave where the phantoms are calling me
A# Cm F 4x
