Em Bm x4 

verse 1 
           Am                G 
And the loneliest man shall look to his left 
Am                           D 
Know that his brother holds two buttons left 
      Am                        Em 
And smiles to himself, for his shirt still holds three 
C                      D 
Buttons on a finely sewn sleeve 

verse 2 
        Am                    G 
And the tea that I drink is tepid, not warm 
         Am                      D 
And the holes in my tent shall reveal some fine storm 
         Am                   Em 
And the tent next to me is a sheet tied to a tree 
C                            D 
Come on sweet brother, and crawl in with me 

Instrumental 
Em Bm x4 

verse 3 
         Am                              G 
And he crawled in and slept, almost immediately he slept 
Am                                         D 
Placed to the bonding wraiths, I couldn't have handled it if he had wept 
         Am                       Em 
In the morning seems calm, and we go our separate ways 
C                                    D 
Carrying the mark of a snake to the end of our days 

Bridge 
F                     D 
Whoa the world is a round clump of ice 
F                              D 
Floating through space like a ram on a clump of ice 

Chorus 
C                            D 
Come on sweet brother, and dance with the shadow 
C                            D 
Come on sweet brother, and dance with the shadow 
C                            D 
Come on sweet brother, and dance with the shadow 

Outro 
     Am       D        Am       D 
With me, with me, with me, with me 
     Am       D        Am                D 
With me, with me, with me, oh, oh, with me 

Outro Instrumental 
Am    D    x2
