Dm, Em,
Am C G
Come onto me, it's easy for a long life
Am C G
Don't be denied forever under the night
Dm
Come along to be this free
Em
Is what you want to
Am C G
Breaking the line forever under the sun
Am C G
It will be done together for each to be one
Dm
Come along to be is easy
Em
Taking the stars
Am,
(Am)
Across the road at the end of this place
C F G
It's not far and anyone can go there
Am
It's waste ground there's no name on this place
C F G
But it always has and always will be there
Am, C, Dm, Em,
Am
There's no fence, no walls, no fools
C F G
Just the summer sun and what you choose
Am
But was it only yesterday
C F G
Tomorrow came and handed you the tools
F C Dm
To burn it down, yeah, down,
F C Dm Am Em G
Your forgotten ground, yeah, ground
Am, C, Dm, Em, (X2)
Am
The golden bough with a rope lies there
C F G
For you to climb higher and higher
Am
But by this rope you can hang
C F G
If you've forgotten why it was you came there
F C Dm
And you burn it down, yeah, down
F C Dm
Your forgotten ground, yeah, ground
F C Dm Am Em G
It's a long way down, yeah, down
Am, C, Dm, Em, (X2)
Dm, Em,
Am C G
When you are old and see this know this is cold
Am C G
That when the sun rises tall shadows will hold
Dm
The ground you loved to you is broken
Em
Taken from you
Am C G
And I carve my name and then you wrote yours
Am C G
The black smoke will rise up to cover the stars
Dm
Nothing said to be forever
Em G/D G Am
Except for the night that will come when we burn you down
