Tuning: Drop D
D (riff 1)
My high priestess folded neatly, back in your box, oh lord
Call the song he sang so sweetly, back in your box, oh lord
Found myself astride a Tiger lifting my head, just like you said
Drown me now in down of eider, get me to bed, Oh.... lord
D* E* G*
Lay my bones in cobblestones
G* E* D*
Lay my bones in neat little rows
D* E* G*
Lay my bones in cobblestones
G* E* D (riff 1)
Lay my bones in neat little rows
D (riff 1)
Angels and idols, spiraling wild, winding you necks, oh lord
Landed gentry, ride on behind me, winding your necks, oh lord
Smokey progress, backroom sages, let me back in, put back the pin
'Cause now I found those sought out pages, can't read the text, oh.... no
D* E* G*
Lay my bones in cobblestones
G* E* D*
Lay my bones in neat little rows
D* E* G*
Lay my bones in cobblestones
G* E* D*
Lay my bones in neat little rows
D* E* G* E* (x2)
D* E* G* E*
In the house, where they grew you
There were secrets, and mistakes
That the eyes, that see through you
Would give anything, to erase
But picture they're counting your fingers
Waiting for the focus of your eyes
No don't, don't point fingers
Fingers are for pointing at the sky
No don't, don't point fingers
Fingers are for pointing at the sky
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in neat little rows
D* E** G** E** D**
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in cobblestones
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Nah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Lay my bones in neat little rows
