Eb                Eb9               Ab                Eb
I hung out with the old folks, in the hope that I'd get wise.

      Gm                   Cm               F       Bb
I was trying to bridge the gap, between the great divide.

        Eb        Eb9              Ab               Eb
Hung on every recollection, in the theatre of their eyes

        Gm             Cm           F                 Bb
Picking up on this and that, in the few that still survive.


[CHORUS]

        Eb
Call em up

        Cm
Dust em off

D      Gm
Let em shine

    Ab              Eb                F              Bb
The ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behind

           Eb               Cm
Those that flew, those that fell,

    D                Gm
The ones that had to stay,

          Ab            Eb
Beneath a little wooden cross

 Bb     Eb
Oceans away

[VERSE 2]

     Eb                 Eb9           Ab                 Eb
They bend like trees in winter, these shuffling old gray lions

       Gm                  Cm               F            Bb
Though snow white start to gather, like the belt around Orion.

       Eb             Eb9               Ab         Eb
Just a touch of faded lightning, of the powerful design,

       Gm         Cm            F              Bb
Of the generation gathered, for maybe the last time.

Oceans away where the green grass sways and the cool wind blows across the shadow of their graves.

F#                                     Ab
shoulder to shoulder, back in the day, sleeping bones to rest in Earth

    Ab              Eb                F              Bb
The ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behind

           Eb               Cm
Those that flew, those that fell,

    D                Gm
The ones that had to stay,

          Ab            Eb
Beneath a little wooden cross

 Bb     Eb
Oceans away
