Emmylou Harris Bang The Drum Slowly written by Guy Clark
Emmylou Harris
A# D# A#
I meant to ask you how to fix that car
D# A#
I always meant to ask you about the war
Gm D# A#
And what you saw across a bridge too far
F
Did it leave a scar
A# D# A#
Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel
D# A#
Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
Gm D# A#
And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
F
How did it feel
D# A#
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
F A#
To dust be returning from dust we begin
D# A#
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Gm D# A# F A#
Above and below me world without end
A# D# A#
I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost
D# A#
And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
Gm D# A#
There was still that line that you would never cross
F
At any cost
A# D# A#
I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
D# A#
With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
Gm D# A#
And if you ever really were deceived
F
By the likes of me
D# A#
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
F A#
To dust be returning from dust we begin
D# A#
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Gm D# A# F A#
Above and below me world without end
F D#
Gone now is the day and gone the sun
A#
There is peace tonight all over Arlington
F D#
But the songs of my life will still be sung
A# F
By the light of the moon you hung
A# D# A#
I meant to ask you how to plow that field
D# A#
I meant to bring you water from the well
Gm D# A#
And be the one beside you when you fell
F
Could you tell
D# A#
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
F A#
To dust be returning from dust we begin
D# A#
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Gm D# A# F A#
Above and below me world without end
