On a hill side of graves[C]

And chas[C]e each ot[D]her in the [G]rain

[CHORUS]
And there's [G]gonna be a darkness
Maybe [D/F#]colder than you guess
There [C]may not be music, there may not be stairs

Your [D/F#]father may be there
There [C]may not be voices
Sent from a throne to [D]carry you home

Where the angels have lulled you to [C]sleep
[G]They swallow you [D]whole like a [C]whale
From your [D]head to your [G]feet
