INTRO  Gm 

verse 1 

     Gm       Bb      Em7/b5      Dm/F 
   A house is made of mortar and wood 

       Bb    C      Bb  C    Dsus4   D 
   Yet sinks in the mud to decay 

     Gm      Bb      Fm6          G7sus4  G7

   A town is born of silver and stone

   And beaten to sand by the tide 

     Gm     Bb      Fm6         G7sus4   G7        
   A town becomes a mark on the soul

   Of those who will cross that divide

   Come unto me,  we'll lie in the grass

   We won't be ashamed, summer will pass 

  Em7/b5     Ebmaj7   F             Bb7             
   Felling a tree to hide from the wild 

  Em7/b5        Ebmaj7   D7        Gm 
   Weaving the reeds to cover our child

   A clan is made of marriage and blood 

       Bb    C    Bb  C    Dsus4   D 
   The journey is our only prize 

       Gm   Bb     Fm6        G7sus4  G7  
   And if a clan is rent into two 
  
       Gm             D7           Gm 
   You still have her lips and his eyes

   This place is made of water and rock 

       Bb    C      Bb   C     Dsus4   D 
   Yet burns in the pyre of the stars
