  			Intro 

verse 1 
Em                  D5 
   I alight like a whisper 
Am                    Em 
   I alight with the lights out 
Em                                    D5 
   And it won't take me long just to find you 
Am                                    Em 
   And it won't take me long just to find you 


Chorus 1 
C                    Em 
  I'm allied to the winter 
                  D5                    Am 
But don't you get clever, don't you get clever 
C                    Em 
  I'm allied to the landslide 
                    D5     N.C.                  Em 
Gonna leave you all severed, gonna leave you all severed 


verse 2 
Em                 D5 
   I alone am the answer 
Am                    Em 
   I alone will make wrongs right 
Em                               D5 
   But in order to root out the cancer 
Am                               Em 
   It's got to be kept from the sun line 


Chorus 2 
C                    Em 
  I'm allied to the winter 
                  D5                    Am 
But don't you get clever, don't you get clever 
C                    Em 
  I'm allied to the landslide 
                    D5     N.C.                  Em 
Gonna leave you all severed, gonna leave you all severed

Em                  D5 
   I was born to a jackal 
Am                  Em 
   I was born in a whiteout 
Em                               D5 
   Gonna smother you all till I choke you 
Am                                 Em 
   Gonna smother you all till you kick out

                  D5                    Am 
But don't you get clever, don't you get clever 
C                    Em 
  I'm allied to the landslide 
                    D5     N.C.                  Em 
Gonna leave you all severed, gonna leave you all severed
