Poets Of The Fall – Choir Of Cicadas chords

[Verse 1]
           C                      F            GIt's the season of dust trailing old pick up trucks
     Em            Am    Dm            GSeashells washed ashore down by the docks
         C                                 F    GSo baby pull on your blue jeans turn the radio loud
       Am           F             G        C    F  CDon`t wait for the hour to give birth to doubt

[Verse 2]
        C                               F         GIn the peak harvest of snakebites and wasted hindsight
         Em    Am            Dm        GWhen trivial truths sit next to the taillights
        C                    F         GWhen fenders of chrome they rattle and hum
      Am           F        G   C   F  CAll carved in the shape of freedom

[Verse 3]
         C                        F        GThose flea market stalls in the bone dry noon
   Em            Am           Dm         GDespite pretty signs, look cursed and marooned
      C                     F              GAnd trumpet notes wailing from the candy store
       Am       F        G       C   F  CLike a work of art of uneasy rapport

[Verse 4]
        C                       F     GThe wreckage, the blunder, the tarot read
Em             Am            Dm           GIn the heat blurry air we're down in the field
               C                F   GWhere to the choir of cicadas' jubilee
Am           F            G      C   F  CAmong the clouds we once fell asleep

[Verse 5]
      C                              F         G  The sirens of the shipyard by those derelict whales
Em            Am      Dm       GOld mothers singing rusty old tales
 C                     F          G  Like revving engines keening sky high
      Am       F       G    C   F  CYet theirs is never a war cry

[Verse 6]  

     C                       F          G So I`ll be your lover now, brazen and bright
           Em        Am          Dm          GLike the flare of a match you struck in the night
        C                            F        GThough what does a stray know about holy and true
           Am    F            G  C   F  C  But I'll always come to your rescue

[Coda]
    Dm                         C      FOh lord won't you hear your children cry
   B             F         B         FSinging their praise and their hallelujahs
   Dm            C          FI have no more words to describe
    B     F   C         FAn empty sky of hollow blue, yeah
     Dm                   C    FSo where is my lover, my firelight
     B            F       B         FThe line on the edge of truth and rumour
Dm                       C            FWe took our vows in the heart of the night
           C          F                   C          BWe were brazen and bright, when we were brazen and bright
