Вступление
[Intro]
Dm
[Chorus]
Dm
Men are made From blood and bone
CDm
Like metals made from dust
Am
Men are bound to die alone
GDm
Like metals bound to rust
[Verse 1]
DmCDm
Late, late, late night on the hill
AmGDm
The poet came a knocking on the shamans window sill
DmCDm
Help me my words don't visit anymore
AmGDm
The shaman he laughed picked a mouse up from the floor
DmCDm
They sat there in the dark whilst a mooty was prepared
AmGDm
From the blood of the mouse and an eagles head
DmCDm
Drink this said the shaman, it will calm you mind
AmGDm
I promise the words will flow from you like the rain from the sky
DmCDm
So the poet he drank, till the glass was bare
AmGDm
While outside a nightingale sang in the air
DmCDm
Thank you said the poet, may the gods bless your soul
AmGDm
He shook the old mans hand, walked out into the cold
DmCDm
Early the next morning as the sun began to rise
AmGDm
Screams rang out across the old diamond mines
DmCDm
My lover, My lover, My lover is dead
AmGDm
Next to his wife lay the poet In his bed
[Chorus]
Dm
Men are made From blood and bone
CDm
Like metals made from dust
Am
Men are bound to die alone
GDm
Like metals bound to rust
[Verse 2]
DmCDm
After many years past and gone and many tears cried
AmGDm
Still no one could console the poor old poets bride
DmCDm
For in this life or the next still she implored
AmGDm
That one of these days she would see her love once more
DmCDm
Then one day in the winter while the famines took a hold
AmGDm
Into a tavern walked a stranger from the cold
DmCDm
Said I'm looking for my lover I've been away for many years
AmGDm
The poets widow was summoned from her tears
DmCDm
If it's you said the widow then where have you been
AmGDm
The demons said the stranger they took me from my sleep
DmCDm
They locked me in a cave put nails through my skull
AmGDm
I escaped with the help of this lonesome nightingale
DmCDm
If it's you said the widow then spin me a line
AmGDm
The stranger cleared his throat looked deep into her eyes
[Chorus]
Dm
Said men are made From blood and bone
CDm
Like metals made from dust
Am
Men are bound to die alone
GDm
Like metals bound to rust
DmCDm
They drank and they danced late into the night
AmGDm
But the poets father was not so satisfied
DmCDm
Next morning the stranger was awoken with a thud
AmGDm
As the police came to take samples of his blood
DmCDm
And as the results of the test came in
AmGDm
The poets father screamed I knew it wasn't him
DmCDm
Well a lonely executioner sharpened his blade
AmGDm
From doing god's work a living he made
DmCDm
And just before he raised his axe up too the birds
AmGDm
He asked the stranger do you have any last words
[Bridge]
AmGDm
And the shaman he smiles up on the hill
AmGDm
His promise to the poet was fulfilled
AmGDm
And the widow she cries to the moon
AmGDm
And the nightingale sang her last tune
[Chorus]
Dm
Said men are made From blood and bone
CDm
Like metals made from dust
Am
Men are bound to die alone
GDm
Like metals bound to rust
Dm
Men are made From blood and bone
CDm
Like metals made from dust
Am
Men are bound to die alone
GDm
Like metals bound to rust
