And The Accordions Played

A
See the bracken green on the hills

E
See the gifts of every summer

D
Suns sinking low in the long grass

A
Always rising and falling down

A
There's bluebells growing under the trees

E
And I will be there in June

D
I will walk back down the river

A
To some unknown salvation

F#m
Taking me back again

A
Memories of the incomplete

F#m
The birch, the oak, the rowan

C#m
And the accordions played down in the hall

E
By the riverside

C#m
As if God hadn't happened at all

A
Stealing heaven from a moon-lit door

F#m		
Taking me back down the railroad tracks

E
To get lost in it all


A
On young ploughed fields I kissed your eyes

E
A crown of songs around your head

D
And by the railings at the harbor wall

A
The radios played

A
Never thought I could look upon

E
Something so beautiful, so pure

D
Brighter than sun on snow

A
In some new enchanted garden

F#m
She said we've been here before

A
As the skies are slashed by flames

F#m
Our citadels come crashing down

C#m
A constant sea, a war of waves

E
Lay down your life for me

C#m
Lay down your love again

A
We'll talk it over

F#m
And we'll waken

             D
Like kings some day

        F#m               E
And the accooooooooooordions played   

        F#m               D                
And the accooooooooooordions played                   X2
