[E]Somewhere there’s a country you remember from your youth
On the [E]surface of this country is the one they built on top of it.
The [Aadd9]Highway leads to everything,
Except for what they buried under[E]neath it.
There is a [Aadd9]country made of telegrams and tailcoats,
and nobody to [E]grieve it.
But when the [E]sun is getting lower then the highway marks the graves,
And the [E]tail-lights, they circle like the roses of an infinite bouqu[Aadd9]et,
And everybody [E]leaves tail-lights for the [Aadd9]grey,
Ghosts of railways and candlehold[E]ers.
And [Aadd9]oh oh oh oh oooooo, ooooo ooooo ooooo [E]ooooo,
There’s been a[Aadd9]n accident a mile away from here,
I heard the sound of sir[E]ens,
And they turned [Aadd9]back again and as they disappeared,
I saw a trail beh[E]ind them.
You say the [F#m]wind is up, it’s out collectin[C#m]g lives, [F#m] [c#m]
You say the [F#m]wind is up, it’s out collectin[C#m]g lives, [F#m] [c#m]
An exit [A]night, [B]
Is coming [E]through,
Oh the [E]wind is up, it’s moving like no wind I’ve ever known,
And the [E]page that I was reading was the first that had to go,
But [Aadd9]still I kept on reading like the dead who have a memory of [E]living,
Because the [Aadd9]wind is here to take the thing,
I don’t think I am ready to b[E]e giving,
And [Aadd9]Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thy Juliette?
She [Aadd9]flew up with the table out the window,
Now she’s mixing with th[E]e dead.
Oh won’t yo[Aadd9]u make her go away I am not ready for her yet,
Add9 [E]
Oh make her go away, I am not ready, I’m not ready for her yet.
And now the [F#m]wind is up, it’s out collectin[C#m]g lives, [F#m] [c#m]
You say the [F#m]wind is up, it’s out collectin[C#m]g lives, [F#m] [c#m]
An exit [Aadd9]night [B] is coming tru[E]e,
An exit [Aadd9]night, is coming [E]through,
Exit [Aadd9]night, has come for [E]you,
Oh exit [F#m]light,
exit [B]moon,
Tell me [F#m]why [B]
Why so [E]soon?
I don’[Aadd9]t know. [E]
I don’[Aadd9]t know. [E]
Oooooo oo[Aadd9]ooo.
Ooooo [E]ooooo.
(Fingerpicked outro)
[E]And o,
Go to [Aadd9]sleep,
To[E]morrow,
The day,
Would [C#m]be,
I will [F#m]read to [B]your [E]memory,
Fly a[E]way,
There’s n[Aadd9]o need
To [E]worry,
I will [C#m]read, in[F#m]to your [B] memo[E]ry,
[E]Leave your brain.
