With great sadness I'm letting you know, that Jackie Leven,
frontman of the band, died on the 14th of November 2011,
at the far too young age of 61. He had been very ill for a while.
His great music will live forever though, thanks Jackie!

VERSE 1:
|G |Em
I dressed you in the morning,
|C |G
for a journey through the past.
|D |G
We signed our names in shadows,
|C |D
that I promised you would last.
|D7 |G
Main travelled roads be-fore us,
|Em |C
passing slowly out of sight.
|D7 |G
The haunted valley chorus,
|Am7 |G |./. |./. |./.
sweet and softly through the night.
VERSE 2:
|G |Em
The last ones in were waiting,
|C |G
for their call to take the stage.
|D |G
And when the curtains opened,
|C |D
they stood like lovers in a cage.
|D7 |G
The crowd in perfect sadness,
|Em |C
caused their hearts to hide their shame.
|D7 |G
The dressing rooms are empty,
|Am7 |G |./.
and the warden is to blame.
VERSE 3:
|G |Em
I walked through fields of honour,
|C |G
where the gentle earth had laid.
|D |G
The young men are still fighting,
|C |D
and the forest tanks are raised.
|D7 |G
The hotel lifts are broken,
|Em |C
and the trains are running slow.
|D7 |G
The blind man at reception,
|Am7 |G |./.
never missed a single show.
VERSE 4:
|G |Em
Main travelled roads behind me,
|C |G
and a white bird in the sky.
|D |G
A secret sign to show me,
|C |D |
where the ocean comes to die.
D7 |G
I arose and left you,
|Em |C
sleeping in your silent room.
|D7 |G |./. |./.
E-ternal is the warrior,
|Am7 |G |./. |: Fade Out
who finds beauty in his wounds.
Enjoy, DAIRYBEAT
