verse 1
D D/F#* G*
Spinning that stone uphill again
Em/G* D
Like atonement for a bygone sin
D/F# G
Under the weight of it, my bones
Em/G D
Cracking like a dry branch in a westward wind
D/F#* G*
But Zeus and his pantheon of kin
Em/G* D
Take the first nine out of every ten
D/F# G
Minas, like lightning changing hands
Em
It all returns back to his pockets, in the end
Gmaj7 Em/G Bm
You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave
D/A
Nothing we make can we bring
Gmaj7 Em
But still the bait hanging from the string is calling my name
Asus4 G
And like the wind it slips again
D
Out of my fingers
Interlude
D Gmaj7 D G
verse 2
D D/F# G
As Fortuna sits idly by
Em D
I spin her wheel with all my might
D/F# G
Crushing my kin for warring-wage
Em D
Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eye
Dsus2/F# Gmaj7
Under the table where she dines
Em* D
I sit hungry with my mouth foamed white
Dsus2/F# Gmaj7*
Fighting for crumbs that trickle down
Em7
As she finishes her cake, then takes a bite from mine
Gmaj7 Em/G Bm
You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave
D/A
Nothing we make can we bring
Gmaj7 Em
But still the bait hanging from the string is calling my name
Asus4 G
And like the wind it slips again
D
Out of my fingers
