This is in standard tuning. I've been playing this on piano along with the album... so
certainly in the right key.
Am Em
Dear Prodigal, you are my son and I
F C G
Supplied you not your spirit, but your shape
Am Em
All Eden's wealth arrayed before your eyes
F G Em
I fathomed not you wanted to escape
Am Em
And though I only ever gave you love
F C G
Like every child you've chosen to rebel
G Am
Uprooted flowers and filled the holes with blood
Dm G
Ask not for whom they toll the solemn bells
C Em
A Child Of Dust, to mother now return
Am G
For every seed must die before it grows
F C
And though above, the world may toil and turn
G G7
No prying spade will find you here below
C G F
Now safe beneath their wisdom and their feet
C G F
Here I will teach you truly how to sleep
