[Verse 3]
Last night I [C]dreamed about [B]a

Well, the [Em]buz zards fly
up to the [G]heavens

And it's a year to the day
since the [G]fields
Burned away [C]but I still carry this [Em]torch

I still [Am]carry [Bm]this [Em]torch
And I'm [C]feeling a little bit seasick but I

Cause [C]that's where my
future [Am]will unfold
While I'm [C]wait[B]ing for the
[Em]mail
