A Burial at Sea Lyrics

by The Ladybug Transistor
The chords used in this song are as follows:
INTRO (fingerpicked)
then there is a little riff before the first verse that goes like this:
red bird is dreaming
the bottom of the sea
taking no passengers
meets the fishes
and his new neighbors
off the coast
of virginia
are the shipwrecks and the treasures
of spain, of spain
i swallowed these tears
like a thousand other times
can't hear the thunder
of the train roll by
give me a sign
i've been haunting this corner
for too many years
the sidewalk crawls
the gutters streak
washes the day, the day, away
where where do you go
got your sight to the window
into the palms
maybe the palms
can break your fall
i climb up these stairs
like a thousand other times
can't hear the traffic
or the war outside
quater to 5
been writing this letter
for too many years
the trumpet sounds
the devil speaks
oh virginia
here's to believing
to virginia
where where do you go
got your sight to the window
into the palms
maybe the palms
can break your fall
where where do you go
got your sight to the window
into the palms
maybe the palms
can break your fall
