[Verse 1]
[F]Amongst the [C]tins of [G]nails and [Em]things
[C]Is [Dm]where [C]Grandad and [G]me
[F]Turned his [C]shed into [G]a
[C]church of [Dm]masculinity
[G]No fe[F]male [Em]bothered [F#m]to intru[D]de
[Fm]into our s[C]acred [Cm]space[Dsus4]
[D]Con[G] te[F]nt in ma[C]nly so[Em]litude[G][Em]
[C]or [Dm]in shit -st[G]ained gr[C]ace
[F]To [C]bacco, oil, an[G]d creosote,
[C]this tem[Dm]ple's in [C]cense clo[G]th[Gsus4]
[G]To per[F]fume pie[C]ty, woo[G]den walls,[Em]
where [Dm]voodoo gasps must [G]haunt
[Gsus4]Where pri[G]ests s[F]leeper[Em]
through [F#dim]bottled m[D]eth[Fdim] s,
[Ddim]along wi[C]th tins of[Cm] screw[Ebdim]s[Dm]
[G]And [F]ancient [C]saws and [G]chisels stayed,
[Em]and I ne[C]ver sa[Dm]w him[G] use[C]
[F]This shed was [C]never [G]made for [C]work,
but [Dm]built for [C]sanctuary
[G]Where [F]we both [C]took commu[G]nion
[Em]of biscu[Dm]its with our tea
[G]An [Gsus4]d I soake[G]d up[F]
[Em]crumbs of [F#dim]knowledge
[Fdim]there be[C]hind the c[Cm]reaking do[Dsus4]or
[Dm]Ex p[G]ound[F]ed on th[C]e day [G]to day[C]
or [Dm]times be[G]fore the [C]war[F][C][G][C][Dm][C][G][F][C][G][C]
[Dm][Gsus4][G][F]
[Em][F#m][F#dim][Fdim][Fm][C][Cm][Dsus4][G][F][C][G][C][F][Gsus4][G][C]
On [F]shelves where [C]ghosts
of [Em]laughter [F]sle[C]pt
De[Dm]clayed to [C]sooty dust
[G]Tim[F]e wrapped rou[C]nd those mem[G]ories,
[Em]like moss [Dm]and creeping dust[Gsus4]
[G]But [F]in their [Em]sleep the
[F#dim]truth of dre[Fdim]am s
[Ddim]seeped i[C]nto timber w[D]all [G]s
[F]Until by [C]simply [G]breathing in[C],
each [Dm]one could b[G]e re[C]called
Intend[F]ing [C]to re[G]build his [C]shed
when [Dm]Granddad [C]passed [G]away
Dis[F]mantled [C]it to [G]turn to [Em]dust
[C]till [Dm]just three planks re[G]mained[Gsus4]
[G]So [F]one for [Em]him, [F#dim]one for me,[Fdim]
[C]one for [Cm]lives [Dsus4]and schem[G]es
[Dm]that[Em] overl[F]ap each [C]history[G]
[C]aboard [Dm]this ship of dr[G]ea[C]ms.
