Bones

[Verse 1]
D                         Eb   D
Someone had scattered the skeletons
                            C
The hip bones and the spines
D                      Eb      D
Piled the ribs and the shoulder blades
D
Heaped the skulls into a mound

[Pre-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
D                  Eb      D
I waited for many a day and night
                       C
But found no one to ask
D                     Eb        D
These people, who had they once been
D
And what had happened here?

[Chorus]
Gm                   Eb
From darkness they arrived
    F              Gm
The spirits of the night
                     Eb
The moon rose to its zenith
             C        Gm
Phospherous, blue and white
                     Eb
From darkness they arrived
F            Cm
Lucid and mercurial
             Dm             Eb
The creeping figures in the fog

[Verse 3]
D                Eb      D
I stayed yet for another night
                         C
Despondent and spiritless
D                      Eb       D
To watch this nameless patch of land
D
A field covered by bones

From darkness they arrived

The spirits of the night
                     Eb
The moon rose to its zenith
             C        Gm
Phospherous, blue and white
                     Eb
From darkness they arrived
F            Cm
Lucid and mercurial
             Dm             Eb  F
The creeping figures in the fog

D
And came the dawn I knew
                              C
Who these people had once been
D                   Eb D
I had learned their story
D
I had been taught their fate
