Matthew Perryman Jones O Theo Lyrics

Watched this gentleman play the song to see how it was played, so all credit goes to
Chris Yokel - http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=hL0fetLocb0
C: x32010
Cadd4: x33010
Am: x02210
F: 133211 or xx3211
Hammer on / pull off the D string after the first strum when going from C to Cadd4 in
the verses
Try not to play the high E string during the chorus
Under the silence of water,
Into a sky full of birds
Out from the land of our fathers,
I am falling on your words,
Oh...
Dark as the night of a preacher,
I made a bed out of hay
They paid me a handful of money,
I gave it all away...
All away...
And the righteous raised their stones
And the devil threw his arrow
That was longing for a home
With nowhere to go,
Oh, Theo...
In the half-life of the city,
She took off all of her clothes
I flew from the height of the mountains
Into a valley of dry bones
All alone
Then my heart was still unknown
I was drunk and full of sorrows
I was longing for a home
With nowhere to go,
Oh, Theo...
So, I set fires of starlight,
To burn up against the despair
I was caught in the tangles of midnight's
Long, unanswered prayer:
'Are you there?'
And the light of morning grows
On a field of fallen sparrows
I was longing for a home
With nowhere to go,
Oh, Theo...
