The Days Tabulatur von Patrick Wolf (für Baryton)

C
The days
       Am
Passing days
Dm F
      C
I see the steeple
           Am  
And trace to the spire
        Dm
And the sun set
Deep in regret
           F 
Phoenix in final fire
        C
And the time stops
          Am 
Rush hour traffic slows
       Dm
And my heart starts
Beating this dark
        F
Through old flesh and cold bone
                 G         F
And I long to be carried on
                G            F
Just once to be lifted strong
           G
Out of the loneliness
And the emptiness
      C
Of the days
        Am
The days
        Dm      F
Passing days
Days
            C
I remember I had your love once
         Am
Seized my body whole
         Dm
And in our first dance
I thought by chance
         F
God had matched my soul
                     C
But time brought its travelling
                 Am
Its distance and solitude
            Dm
And in that travelling
My self damaging
               F
I took my love far, far from you

But don't you
        G            F
Long to be carried on
              G                   F
Once more I could lift you strong
           G
Out of the loneliness
And the emptiness
       C
Of the days
            Am
Passing days
        Dm
Passing days
F
Days

Tell me
                     G
Have we gone too far?
                        F
Or did we get too close?
You've no father
        G
I've no son
                     F
But when we come ghost
          G
I promise I will meet you
I will meet you
                      C
At the end of the days
        Am
The days
           Dm      F
Passing days
                                       C
Won't you meet me at the end of the days?
