The Hollow Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Arpeggiate open A chord

AI wanted to find a hDollow

 a Eplace to fill the Dempty in my Amind

AMy silence had me caving iDnwards

 and I Elonged for us to Dspeak between the Alines

BmAnd when I'd find that Dhollow

 IA'd leave every trace of it Ebehind

AI'd have known you'd fDollow

Ebut this hollow was for Dme alone to Afind

C♯Or so I thought D

C♯Or so I thought, ohD what a fool

Chorus

F♯mOh what I was, oh what you are

Dthese are the strangest times

EHas my young love faded out ofA sight?

F♯mOh where we were and where we are, they're not so Dfar apart

EWe'll set off for that hollow at first Alight, Bmyeah we will, Ayeah we will

AAt last we reached the hDollow

 we Esink down in the Dmoss upon the Aground

 My Acompass had been helter sDkelter,

Elike a fly in a Dfish bowl buzzing Around

 Your Bmheart against my chest a-hDumming

 it Asings your song of sorrow to me nEow

ABut my songbird shall not Dwallow

Edrawn back to this Dsecret we have Afound

C♯And I hear the water rushing Ddown below

C♯it doesn't matter now, oooDooh

F♯mOh and we were, oh and we arEe
