Tempo should be adagio - slow, and almost out of rhythm. imagine stepping out of deep mud.
[Intro]
D A Esus2
Bm A5/E A/E E PAUSE
(for A5/E to A/E I play a regular A with the E string open, to an A
pressing the A string on the second fret)
[Verse]
D A E
There is a house built out of stone
D A E
Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
D A E
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust...
Bm D A E
This is a place where I don't feel alone
Bm D A E
This is a place where I feel at home...
(fingerpicking begins - crescendo through this if you want)
D Amaj7 D A E
[Chorus]
D Amaj7 D A E
I built a home for you for me
D Amaj7 D A E
Until it dis....appeared from me from you
D Amaj7 D F#m A E~ (pause)
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust........
(back to strumming chords once)

[Verse]
D A E
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
Bm D A E
There is a tree as old as me
D A E
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Bm D A E
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
D A E
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
Bm D A E
I climbed the tree to see the world
D A E
When the gusts came around to blow me down
Bm D A E
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
Bm D A E
I held on as tightly as you held onto me......
(fingerpicking again - crescendo)
D Amaj7 D A E
[Chorus]
D Amaj7 D A E
I built a home for you for me
D Amaj7 D A E
Until it dis....appeared from me from you
D Amaj7 D F#m A(decrescendo) E
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust........
(Big Pause)
