[Intro 1]
[Em]
[G][Em]

[Verse 1]
When we all ran back into [Em]the briars
We told our children about the
foreign shore
When we threw our boots into the fire
We told them all about the tug of war

[Verse 2]
Gonna tell them about the seed and the shovel
[Em]
About the prison and the promised land
Gonna tell them about the
dream of the devil
About the hurting and the healing hand,
[C]that hand[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]Cause [D]the[Em] musi[C]c [D]neve[Em]r la[C]sts[D][Em]
too long for the singers and the endless song

[Verse 4]
When [Em]we held our word
[D]s up in the mirror
[Em]We told our children how
to hold their tongues
When we held our heads beneath the [D]river
[Em]We told them all about the iron lung

[Verse 5]
Gonna tell them [Em]about the
sins of the father
About the junkie and the ju[D]bilee
[Em]Gonna tell them about
the roots in the water
About the killing in the quiet line [C]of trees
[D][Em][C][D][Em][C][D][Em][C][D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Cause the music never lasts too long for the singers
and the endless song
[Asus4][Bm][Em][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Em]All our morning kisses in the cove[D]rs
[Em]And told our children what
'worthy' means
And then you wrapped your
arms around another
And told them what was worth
a pile of beans

[Verse 8]
Gonna tell them about the call of the [Em]ocean
About the singers and [D]the endless [Bm]song
[Em]Gonna tell them about the
body and the motion
And how the music never [D]lasts too long,
too long
[C][D][Em][C][D][Em][C][Em][D]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Cause the music never lasts too long for the
singers and the endless song
About the low lit alley and
the wedding bed
About the first born sucker
and the spider's web

[Verse 10]
Cause the music never lasts [Em]too long
for the singers and the endless song
About the mind and the muscle
and the weary mile
About the heart and the hustle
and the empty [Am]sky

[Verse 11]
[Em]Cause the music never lasts too [D]long
[Em]for the singers and the endless song
About [D]the tangled up truth
in the [Em]perfect teeth
About the pilgrim and the picking through the
[D]chaff and [Em]wheat
Cause the music never lasts [D]too long

[Verse 12]
[Em]for
the singers and the endless song
About the butterfly kiss
and the [D]call for blood
[Em]About the pig and the preacher
and the [G]holy mud
Cause [D]the music

[Verse 13]
[Em]never last[A]s too [D]long
[Em]for the singers and the endl[D]ess song
About [Em]the breeze in the [D]summer
and the nose will know
About the [Em]sleep through the winter
when the cold wind blows
[D]Cause

[Verse 14]
[Em]the music never lasts too long for
the singers and the endless song
About the lame duck lion
and the [A]thorny crown
[Em]About the proud punk mule and
the heavy [A]plow[Em]

[Verse 15]
Cause the music never lasts too long [Em]for the singers
and the endless song
About the sunburned [D]belly
and the [A]mother's moon
About [Em]the end of the music
coming [Asus4]way too s[A]oon
[Em][Em]
