This Old Dark Machine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Spring it came upon us,
Every [Em]insect filled the air
Dropped their [D]wings upon my brother,
Cast their shad[Am]ows on his hair

[Verse 2]
If [Am]we follow where they're leading,
We will [Em]surely come before
Some un[D]seen and wondrous magic
Made of vis[Am]ions to explore
[D]Near the town

[Verse 3]
where we were living
Was an [Am]old abandoned farm
Every [D]year we'd plant an orchid
In the [Am]shelter of it's arm
To pro[D]tect us from the madness
Of the fu[Am]ture still to come
It will [Em]be like this forever
I will [C]keep you safe from [D]harm
[Am]

[Verse 4]
Then they [Am]caught us in the summer
Dressed [Em]in fathers finest clothes
You [D]the hat he wore to market
I the [Am]jacket filled with holes

[Verse 5]
I've [Am]been searchins all these hours
For [Em]a hand as pale as bone
That would [D]keep the strongest sunlight
And re[Am]flect the brightest stone

[Verse 6]
Near [D]the town where we were living
Was a [Am]warm and fragrant smell
Of the [D]orchid we had planted
Now a [Am]forest tall and well
What a [D]statue to our greatness
What [Am]a story all will tell
They'll re[Em]member us forever
They'll re[C]member where we fell
[D]

[Verse 7]
This [Am]old dark machine,
it shakes and it shudders
[G]Pulls to the left,
then dies near the gutter
[D]But still in the road,
the traffic is silent
[Am]The people they stare,
and then they turn violent
[F]If they should touch,
the hem of your dress
I would [Am]rise like a lion, strike out again
The [C]faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
By [G]the sign
[C]Near the

[Verse 8]
[D]town where we were living
Came a [Am]loud and joyous sound
As the [D]earth and all her beauty
Picked us [Am]up from off the ground
Carried [D]far across the mountain
To a [Am]kingdom never bound
We will [F]live like this [C]forever
I will [D]love you
I [C]will [Am]love[Em][D][Am]
[Em][Am][D][Am]
you
[Em]I will love you
