Cold as the Clay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Whi[D]spe[G]rs [D]of[G][D][G][D][G][D]
[A]an [D]cient[G]s buried by dust,
[A]Echoes of ages in [Bm]canyons of rust,
Is [A]heaven so lonely? I'll [G]know
soon enough
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Cold as [G]the clay, dark as a [A]mine,
Wasting [D]away [A]blood, sweat, and [Bm]grime
Panning for [A]gold, picking [G]for dimes,
[D]lying [G]in wai[Em]t for better times
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D][G]
The [D]tools of the trade [G]lie
shopworn and old
The [A]skills of the master done
[Bm]died with his soul
And [A]the worklike routine is so
[G]lonely and [D]cold[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Cold as [G]the clay, dark as [A]the mine,
Wasting [D]away, [A]blood,
sweat and [Bm]grime,
Panning for [A]gold, picking [G]for dimes,
ly[D]ing in [Em]wait for better times

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][A][D][A][Bm][A]
[G][D][G][Em][D][G][Em][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
The [D]land was converted,
the [G]river was moved,
The [A]village expanded,
some [Bm]say it's improved,
But the [A]lingering feature is a
[G]grim [D]attitude
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
Cold as [G]the clay, dark as the [A]mine,
Wasting [D]away, [A]blood,
sweat and [Bm]grime,
Panning for [A]gold, picking [G]for dimes,
lying in [Em]wait for better times

[Outro 1]
