Hyperboreans by Jackie Oates
Hyperboreans
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse]
G C G D C D
Now the hinges of the year have rust on every
G
rivet;
D G C D
The deeper we will have to breathe the air just to
G
outlive it.
C G D C
The more the sun shines in the door before the
D G
month of fevers,
D G
The more comes snow and so we know Cruel
C D G
Boreas deceives us.
C G D C D
And if at twelve o'clock I walk a shadow's length
G
behind you,
D G C D G
The deeper I will have to dig the driven snow to find you.
D G C G C G
Alas, alas, Cruel Boreas, you chill our very
D
marrow;
G D G C D
We will strew our pillow with the rue and with the
G
yarrow.
D G C G C G
When Boreas again begins to blow a little
D
harder,
G D G C D
We'll go to our unwed bed therein to make our
G
ardour.
D G C G C G
When Boreas at last relents the sun again is
D
shining,
[Verse]
G D G C
Let the rhythm guide the sense and the sense
D G
misguide the rhyming.
D G C G C G
Now we're the Hyperboreans -- we dwell beyond
D
the tundra;
G D G C
That's the name we glory in and the name we
D G
labour under.
D G C G C G
If you would glory in a thing, it may as well be
D
labour.
G D G C D
That's ever been the reasoning and governs our
G
behaviour,
G D G C D
The only way to overbrim with love for every
G
neighbour.
