Em
Ancient, sacred relics of a faith that's dead and gone
Em
A calf that's found too late and frozen, just outside the barn
          A
These are them
          Em
These are them
Em
The sad and sinkin' feeling on the red-eye into town
Em
Buckin' off some bull you could have rode when you were young
          A
These are them
          Em
These are them

[Chorus]
Em
And although it brings me pain just to tell you
                                       F#
I've got to say, I'm kind of compelled to
N.C.                             Bm    N.C. Em
For these are the remains of you

[Verse 2]
Em
When you can't believe and see you're living under curse
Em
Tryin' to treat disease to see it only getting worse
          A
These are them
          Em
These are them
Em
Callin' up an old friend to find she'd overdosed last spring
Em
A man's voice on the phone at your place, six or seven rings
          A
These are them
          Em
These are them

[Chorus]
Em
And although it brings me pain just to tell you
                                       F#
I've got to say, I'm kind of compelled to
N.C.                            Bm   N.C. Bbm
For these are the remains of you

[Bridge]
Bm
Freezing drops of rain
Bm
Pelts of otters slain
Bm
Fortunes on the wane
Bm
The vast unbroken plain
Bm
Hatreds bred in haste
Bm
Good men losing face
Bm
Tragedy in space
Bm
Resource gone to waste
Bm
Peaceful culture aging
Bm
Holocaustal rageings
Bm
Defeats that we're still staging
Bm                              N.C.
In wars that we're still waging

[Outro]
C#m N.C.                          F#
    There's nothing more I can do
N.C.                             Bm
For these are the remains of you
