Castaways Lyrics
by Shearwater
Chords used:
Intro: B (hold)
Verse:
By shadowing
all the darkened fields
of forgotten words
and civilian lives
through violence
through the changing guards
through the grinding away
and the furious marching
Chorus 1:
and weathering
a cast away life
G#m (hold)
and the rising fear
Verse 2:
The hollowness
of the flags and gods
that are raised in the air
in the wake of their raging
Your skinny arms
hold a lantern up
on the brightest array
of the stars in their moorings
Chorus 2:
and summoning
the holy light
on their citadels
the blackening sky
the collapsing sun, the burning wall
that approaches our eyes
Bridge:
Chorus 3:
you live again
in the shuddering light
of these images
this valediction
you are running from a rising tide
you are castaways
This is my first tab submitted and it took me way longer than it really should have
because it's really a very simple song, but it bugged me that nobody else had done it
because it's one of the very best songs I've ever heard and more more people should be
able to play it! Sorry if any of the timings or chords are off, but I'm pretty sure
they're right.
