[Intro]
| D | Bb G |
| D | Bb C |
| D | F | A7 |
[Verse 1]
D Bb G
A cold and wet November dawn
D Bb C
And there are no barking sparrows
D F A7
Just emptiness to dwell upon
D Bb G
I fell into a winter slide
D Bb C D
And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
F A7
Just eking out my measly pies
[Chorus 1]
G D A D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
G D F A7
Know there is this side of me that
G D A D
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G D F A7
Fly the whole mess into the sea
[Verse 2]
D Bb G
Another slow train to the coast
D Bb C D
Some brand new gory art from way on high
F A7
I sink and then I swim all night
D Bb G
I watch the ice melt on the glass
D Bb C
While the eloquent young pilgrims pass
D F
And leave behind their trail
C A7
Imploring us all not to fail
[Chorus 2]
G D A D
Of course I was raised to gather courage from those
G D F A7
Lofty tales so tried and true and
G D A D
If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
G D F A7
Modern thought can get the best of you
[Bridge]
Bm D
This rather simple epitaph
G A G A Asus4
Can save your hide, your falling mind
Bm D
Fate isn't what we're up against
G A G A Asus4
There's no design, no flaws to find
G A G A Asus4
There's no design, no flaws to find
[Solo]

Great tab!
I think that A chord might be an A7, not sure though
+4

I think the chords are right but they are not in the correct position over the lyrics.
