Verse 
           Dm 
We’ve been sown, grown here on the soil 
     C                    Dm 
With roots that burrow deep 

We’ve been long left, but edges of the coil now 
C               Dm 
Closer ever creep 

Dm 
Elders, tellers, keepers of the bygone 
C                   Dm 
Treasures of the dirt 

Brush and string we and scribble and we sing 
    C                         Dm 
And dig for the annals of the earth 

       F         G 
And we try, try, try 
                 Dm 
To keep a little beauty in the world 
         F           G 
All that died, died, died 
                  Dm 
We keep it in our hands

Verse 
         Dm 
In their dark clouds, blackening the sun 
     C                     Dm 
They came down to the shores 

Motors hard, loud, beaten, overcome 
   C                Dm 
No peace here anymore 

Dm 
Bridges rigid, wicked are the pillars 
C                   Dm 
Push us till we fall (until we fall) 

Prophet’s lies burn craving in their eyes still 
C                     Dm 
Casting a shadow over all 

       F         G 
And we try, try, try 
                 Dm 
To keep a little beauty in the world 
         F           G 
All that died, died, died 
                  Dm 
We keep it in our hands 

F     G 
Oo-oo-ooh 
           Dm 
we are the fading voice (we are the elders, tellers) 
F     G 
Oo-oo-ooh 
                  Dm 
we keep it in our hands
 

Interlude 

Dm                        C     F G 
   Ooh, we tell it to the page 
Dm                      C     Dm 
   Ooh, we never let it fade 
 
       F         G 
And we try, try, try 
                 Dm 
To keep a little beauty in the world 
         F           G 
All that died, died, died 
                  Dm 
We keep it in our hands 

F     G 
Oo-oo-ooh 
           Dm 
we are the fading voice (we are the elders, tellers) 
F     G 
Oo-oo-ooh 
                  Dm 
we keep it in our hands
