Jackie Leven, frontman of the band, died on the 14th of November 2011,
at the far too young age of 61. He had been very ill for a while.
His great music will live forever though, thanks Jackie!

VERSE 1:
|G |Em
I dressed you in the morning,
|C |G
for a journey through the past.
|D |G
We signed our names in shadows,
|C |D
that I promised you would last.
|D7 |G
Main travelled roads be-fore us,
|Em |C
passing slowly out of sight.
|D7 |G
The haunted valley chorus,
|Am7 |G |./. |./. |./.
sweet and softly through the night.
VERSE 2:
|G |Em
The last ones in were waiting,
|C |G
for their call to take the stage.
|D |G
And when the curtains opened,
|C |D
they stood like lovers in a cage.
|D7 |G
The crowd in perfect sadness,
|Em |C
caused their hearts to hide their shame.
|D7 |G
The dressing rooms are empty,
|Am7 |G |./.
and the warden is to blame.
VERSE 3:
|G |Em
I walked through fields of honour,
|C |G
where the gentle earth had laid.
|D |G
The young men are still fighting,
|C |D
and the forest tanks are raised.
|D7 |G
The hotel lifts are broken,
|Em |C
and the trains are running slow.
|D7 |G
The blind man at reception,
|Am7 |G |./.
never missed a single show.
VERSE 4:
|G |Em
Main travelled roads behind me,
|C |G
and a white bird in the sky.
|D |G
A secret sign to show me,
|C |D |
where the ocean comes to die.
D7 |G
I arose and left you,
|Em |C
sleeping in your silent room.
|D7 |G |./. |./.
E-ternal is the warrior,
|Am7 |G |./. |: Fade Out
who finds beauty in his wounds.
