C       Fm/C  Db/Ab  Eb+9/Bb
C                        F                G       C The church bells ring out morning glory
                    F                    G            C    When summer bends to the winter's rage
Am    F                           G     CEmily walks through the cemetery
Am        F             G               C        F  C Passed a dog in an unmarked grave
C                F            G        CThe old girl hobbles, nylons sagging
                   F           G      C            Talks to her sisters in the ground
Am      F            G                     CI saw a lie in the mirror this morning
Am         F              G        Am   G/BI heard a prophesy all around
      F/C C                          Fm/CAnd Emily they come and go
           Db/Ab     Eb/Bb                        F6   The shadows     and the distant sounds
    F/C   C                  Fm/CBut Emily don't be afraid
                       Db/Ab  Eb/Bb                        F6 When the weight of angels weighs you down
Emily prays to a faded hero
In a little frame clutched to her gown
Hears the voice of promise in his memory
Tonight's the night they let the ladder down
In a cage sits a gold canary
By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom
As a soul ascends abord the evening
Canary sings to an empty room
