Bang The Drum Slowly by Emmylou Harris
Bang The Drum Slowly
A D A
I meant to ask you how to fix that car
D A
I always meant to ask you about the war
F#m D A
And what you saw across a bridge too far
E
Did it leave a scar
A D A
Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel
D A
Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
F#m D A
And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
E
How did it feel
D A
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
E A
To dust be returning from dust we begin
D A
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
F#m D A E A
Above and below me world without end
A D A
I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost
D A
And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
F#m D A
There was still that line that you would never cross
E
At any cost
A D A
I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
D A
With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
F#m D A
And if you ever really were deceived
E
By the likes of me
D A
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
E A
To dust be returning from dust we begin
D A
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
F#m D A E A
Above and below me world without end
E D
Gone now is the day and gone the sun
A
There is peace tonight all over Arlington
E D
But the songs of my life will still be sung
A E
By the light of the moon you hung
A D A
I meant to ask you how to plow that field
D A
I meant to bring you water from the well
F#m D A
And be the one beside you when you fell
E
Could you tell
D A
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
E A
To dust be returning from dust we begin
D A
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
F#m D A E A
Above and below me world without end
