Powderfinger — The day you come

5 5′ 6 5′ 5′ 5
Memories are fading,
5 5′ 6 5′ 5′ 5
A single voice complaining
6 -6 -7 -6 -6
While days are stacking up
-3 5 5′ 6 5′ 5′ 5
It’s hardly worth debating,
5 5′ 6 5′ 5′ 5
The people are frustrated
6 -6 -7 -6 -6
Drink from poison cup
-3 5 5′ 6 5′ 5′ 5
The system is collapsing,
5 5′ 6 5′ 5′ 5
Conscience is relapsing
-6 -7 9′ 8 -7′ -8
The damage has been done

-7 -5 -7 9 9′ 9′ 8 -8
On the day you come rising up
-7 -5 -7 9 9′ 9′ 8 -8
On the day you come rising up

Vision is rejected,
The people’s choice is tested
So ignorance has won
Children are infected,
Remedy suggested
Don’t drink from poison cup
Overpopulation,
media sensations
The damage has been done

On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up

Gone the dry river bed

Walk-ing down the street
-3 -3 3 3 -3
that we grew up in,
3 -3 -3 3 3 -3 -3
but to-day is not the same.
3 3 3 3 -3 -3
It’s like a dif-ferent town,
3 3 -3 -3
a dif-ferent place,
3 3 -3 -3
a dif-ferent name.

3 -4 -3 3 3 -4 -3 3
I kick my heels a-gainst the curb.

it filled my ey-es.

-8 7 -7 6
We re-mem-ber,

6 -8 -6 -7 -6 -7
The night we slept a-long

the shore and washed a-way.

-3 -3 -3 3 3
Ly-ing on the sand,
-3 -3 3 3 -3
the waves are talk-ing.
3 -3 -3 3 3 -3 -3
And the hum-ming of the trains,
3 3 3 3 -3 -3
but it’s a dif-ferent sound,
3 3 -3 -3
a dif-ferent cloud,
3 3 -3 -3
a dif-ferent rain.

3 -4 -3 3 3 -4
My blood flows fa-ster with
-3 -3 3
e-very thought.
-4 -4 -3 3 3 -4 5 -3
Of e-very-thing that hap-pend here.

And it takes the pain a-way.

The bor-ders of our lives.

And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we’ve lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
And The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives.

Yes we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
«Can analysis be worthwhile?»
«Is the theater really dead?»
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You’re a stranger now unto me
Lost in The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives.

Civil War song
Key: Em
Time: 6/8

-4 6 -6* 6-5* 6 -4
Oh ship-mates come gath-er
-4 7 -6* 6 -6* -4
And join in my dit-ty
-4 -4 -5 6 -5 -5 -4
Of a ter-ri-ble bat-tle
3 -3 -4 -5* 6
That hap-pened of late
-4 6 -6* 6-5* 6 -4
Let each Un-ion tar shed
-4 7 -6* 6 -6* -4
A tear of his pi-ty
-4 -4 -5 6 -5
When he thinks of the
-5 -4 3 -3 -4 -5* 6
Once gal-lant Cum-ber-land’s fate
-4 6 7 -7 -8
The eighth day of March
-8 -7 7 -7 -8 -7 7 6
That told a ter-ri-ble sto-ry
-4 6 6 7 -7 -8
When man-y a brave tar
-7 7 -7 -8 7 6
To this world bid a-dieu
7 -4 -4-3 -4
Our flag was wrapped
3 -4 -5 6 -5 -5 -4
In a man-tle of glo-ry
-4 -4 7 -6* 6 6
By the he-ro-ic deeds
-4 3 -3 -4 -5* 6
Of the Cum-ber-land’s crew
