Capo 5 for original version
[VERSE 1]
[C]Old lay[Dm]ers of t[Em]ime have b[Dm]uried the w[Em]ays that the o[F]thers have grown
And th[C]ough s[Dm]turdy and s[Em]trong his [Dm]eyes open w[Em]ide with e[F]ach new unknown
And [F]oh it’s for the E[Em]arth that he s[Dm]creams in the n[Em]ight
He's a s[F]ervant of the s[Em]easons and the m[F]orning's early light
[F]But the troubled one, he says
[CHORUS]
[C]Rescue me, he says [Em]rescue me
On this [Dm]mountain's the [Em]only place [F]I can see c[G]learly
[C]Rescue me, he says r[Em]escue me
On this m[Dm]ountain's the [Em]only place [F]I can see c[G]learly
[G]He says rescue m[C]e [Em] [Dm] [Em] [Dm]
[VERSE 2]
[C]And see [Dm]these guilty h[Em]ands that en[Dm]venom the s[Em]oil and take the l[F]ike from his fields
But n[C]ow these b[Dm]ook-reddened [Em]eyes have dis[Dm]covered the t[Em]ruth and w[F]hat it conceals
And [F]oh it's for the E[Em]arth that he s[Dm]creams in the n[Em]ight
He's a s[F]ervant of the s[Em]easons and the m[F]orning's early light
[F]But the troubled one, he says
[CHORUS]
[C]Rescue me, he says [Em]rescue me
On this [Dm]mountain's the [Em]only place [F]I can see c[G]learly
[C]Rescue me, he says r[Em]escue me

[G]He says rescue m[C]e [Em] [Dm] [Em] [Dm]
[VERSE 3]
[C]And so the p[Dm]lough it will [Em]turn and our h[Dm]earts they will b[Em]urn for s[F]air works nae easy
But [C]oh t[Dm]his circle s[Em]tone and t[Dm]his buzzard d[Em]yke and t[F]his great unknown
It g[F]oes on and [Em]on into [Dm]distance of t[Em]ime
And [F]oh it's for the [Em]Earth that we s[Dm]cream in the n[Em]ight
We're s[F]ervants of the [Em]seasons and the m[F]ornings early light
B[F]ut the troubled ones, they say
[FINAL CHORUS]
[C]Rescue me, they say r[Em]escue me
On this [Dm]mountain's the [Em]only place [F]I can see c[G]learly
[C]Rescue me, they say [Em]rescue me
