[Intro]

Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm Cmaj7 G* x2
Hmmmmmm~

[Verse 1]
     Dm                     G
Dear friend, I write to you swiftly
Dm                     G
With scarlet ink and a woe
  Dm
My note will be fleeting
    G
But promise while reading
   Dm               G*
To hang on to every word

Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm G
Hmmmmmm~

[Verse 2]
Dm                G
All the days are forgetting
     Dm             G
They told me I was alone
Dm
But leafing through pages
     G
Does nothing for aged
 Dm                      G*
Fingers that work to the bone

[Chorus]
Dm          G
Through the archway
Cmaj7                 Am*
Where the book spines fold
Dm                     G*
They will show you the way

Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm G
Hmmmmmm~

[Verse 3]
Dm                     G
This study cramped and musty
  Dm                G
A coffin to call my abode
 Dm
Each cold glance I've earned
         G
Passing through me I've learned
Dm                                 G
Not to trust those that make it a home


[Verse 4]
Dm                          G
I met a ghost that tended a garden
      Dm                          G
They showed me their most prized marrow
Dm
Tendons and teeth
         G
Amongst pale meadowsweet
 Dm                              G
Seeds of doubt are beginning to grow


[Outro] - Start Strumming
Dm           G
Through the archway
Cmaj7                  Am*
Footprints cremated to smoke
Dm                     G*      Cmaj7*
They will show you the way
