In The Lowlands

(N. Finn)

NOTE:

-- Tune your guitar down one 1/2-step to match the recording.

INTRO: A4* A Dm

Dm C Dm C

oh hell trouble is coming

Dm C F G

out here in panic and alarm

Dm C Dm C

black shapes gather in the distance

Dm C F G

looks like it won't take long

Dm C Dm G

the first drops land on the window

Dm C F G

the first sign that there's something wrong

Dm C Dm C A4 A

light rain and a head full of thunder

Dm C Dm C

which way, which way

Dm C F G Dm C Dm C

two days till I get to you

Dm C F G

I'll be late if I ever get through

Dm C Dm C

where I go there'll be no kind welcome

Dm C

coming down upon me

F C

time will keep me warm

Dm Am

feel my face

F C

now the insects swarm

G D

in the lowlands

F C Dm Am

fear will take the place of desire

F C G D

and we will fan the flames from on high

F Dm C Dm C

try for heavens sake

the sky fell underneath a blanket

the sun sank as the miles went by

sit back with your head on the pillow

when you remember it makes you cry

ghost cars on the freeway

like friends that you thought you had

one by one they are disappearing

time will keep me warm

feel my face

now the insects swarm

in the lowlands

fear will take the place of desire

F C G

and we will fan the flames from on high
