Chord transcription by Gerry Smith.
Intro: D, Dsus4, F6, G, G (x2)
C Ab
The shells of cars have been sucked dry
Db Bbm
And junked in heaps towards the sky
Em D D
Their owners gone beyond all fear of censure
F#
But the particles of safety glass
E9(no7) Ab
Sprinkled in the ruined grass are vivid
Am7 Am6 Am7 Am6
With all the songs I wove for my beloved
D F6 G G
For you alone will be my last adventure
D Dsus4, F6, G, G (Optional 8va in RH)
C Ab
The planes have dumped their angry clouds
Db Bbm
And draped the trees in wasting shrouds
Em D D
That cut back the varieties of tincture
F#
But still there falls a healing rain
E9(no7) Ab Ab
Softly on the land in pain and livid
Am7 Am6 Am7 Am6
I mean the songs I wove for my beloved
D F6 G G
For you alone will be my last adventure
D Dsus4, F6 G, G
(instrumental)
C Ab Db
The unmanned empty freighter moored
Bb
Against the high wall of the fjord
Em D D
Will put to sea before the worst of winter
F#
Against the silence and the cold
E9(no7) Ab Ab
The broken figure in the hold is covered
Am7 Am6 Am7 Am6
By all the songs I wove for my beloved
D F6 G G
For you alone will be my last adventure
D F6 G G
You alone will be my last adventure
D F6 G
You alone will be my last adventure
