Am 
Your passin' broke theEm 
 silence
On that F 
dark OctoberG 
 day
The Am 
sun was headin' Em 
for the west
As it F 
did I heard you G 
say
I Am 
set my sail for a Em 
gentle breeze
Now I F 
leave this world as it was G 
meant to be
And F 
you, did you G 
listen to anyC 
thG 
ing I Am 
said?
Did F 
you ever G 
listen to Am 
me?
Though now it seems you'll never know
But every lad to a man must grow
Till winter comes to celebrate
Then proudly chills the bone
When at last they bury me
Into this ground you'll someday see
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
Did F 
you ever G 
listen to Am 
me?
ThougF 
h the face we wear
SometC 
imes seldom speaks
From F 
the babe that cries
To thC 
is grown man's feet
May tF 
he hand still write
And iC 
ts' heart shape keep
Till F 
our faAm 
thers, sons and daughters agree
Am	G	F 
So I will Am 
pave this G 
road till F 
glory
Sets our Am 
broken G 
spirit F 
free
From eAm 
very cross-G 
soaked nail pours F 
endless rain
With tC 
ears no eG 
ye shouldAm 
 see
But thAm 
ey could filG 
l our highest F 
ocean
And thAm 
e rivers G 
in betweF 
en
With eAm 
very blG 
ade F 
that flowers must grow then drown
C 
WiG 
th E 
love our cruelest sea
