Am
Put the chair against the handle 
                                 C
in the window light a candle
                   F                   C
when you're smoking up
                   E7
the chimney slowly

Am
The wind it blew the slates off
                                               C
your prayers float through the foxglove
             F               C
grip the iron

We watched them carry the coffin
                                            C
from the house down to the river
        F
they recited
     C

      E7
from the well

Am
At the gathering the whole room it fell silent
                                C
it heckled and grew violent
                   F
I stood at your back
        C
deep breath 
   E7
haystack

Am
You're a business man
wrapped in a caftan

go count your money

Out at the bunkhouse
