Am
[Verse]
Am G Dm Dm
There lies my body
Dm F Am G
With holes where my eyes should have been
Am G Dm Dm
Eaten by the alpine choughs
Dm F Am G
They've taken my soul to the skies above
[Chorus]
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
[Verse]
Am G Dm Dm
It is calling me home
Dm F Am G
And so through pine trees, I roam
Am G Dm Dm
Blinded by the alpine choughs
Dm F Am G
They've taken my humanity to the skies above
[Chorus]
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
[Bridge]
Dm C F F
I am listening
Dm C Bb Bb
to your still lingering echo
Bb Dm
While you're slowly fading away
C Gm F
A deadly diminuendo
E E F G
And then silence, silence
Am
A D#
With your vertigo-inducing peaks
G A
Where I can hear the echoes shriek
C#
As if they are still falling
Bb A
You're making me weak in the knees
D# D C#
I wonder, will they ever reach the ground beneath?
[Chorus]
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Am
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
[Bridge]
Dm C F F
I am listening
Dm C Bb Bb
to your still lingering echo
Bb Dm
While you're slowly fading away
C Gm F
A deadly diminuendo
E E F G
And then silence, silence
