The Scattering Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Boys and [Cm]girls [G]will see in [Cm]time
[G]That they were [Am]wrong [Gsus4]to go[G][Am]
[G]Fires don[Cm]'t burn at hom[G]e, like the[Cm]y
Used to [G]burn, those [Am]nights
Grew [C]so [G]long

[Verse 2]
[C]The scattering
(All the children say)
Will come [G]again
(It's taken them away)
No seeds to [C]fall
(All the children say)
No sons to [G]blame
As one by [D]one they left home
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Tired old [Cm]men
Spin [G]tales of [Cm]when
A [G]man could [Am]work
[C]And hold [G]his head [C]up high[Gsus4]
[G]Ghosts roam this [Cm]town
With [G]pockets full of rye
they'd all fall [Cm]down
But [G]soon their [Am]jars all [G]ran dry

[Verse 4]
The scatter[C]ing
(All the children say)
Will come [G]again
(It's taken them away)
No seeds to [C]fall
(All the children say)
No sons to [G]blame
As one by [D]one they [G]left home

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
The scatter[C]ing
(All the children say)
Has come [G]again
(It's taken them away)
No seeds to [C]fall
(All the children say)
Like better days
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]The scattering[C]
(All the children say)
Has come [G]again
(It's taken them away)
But if skies could [C]fall
(All the children say)
With harvest [G]rain
Then one by [D]one
[G]They'll come home
