[INTRO]  Gm

[VERSE 1]

     Gm       Bb      Em7b5      Dm/F
   A house is made of mortar and wood

       Bb    C      Bb  C    Dsus4   D
   Yet sinks in the mud to decay

     Gm      Bb      Fm6          G7sus4  G7 
   A house becomes a ghost in the heart

      Gm             D7       Gm
   Of those who have gone far away


[VERSE 2]

     Gm      Bb      Em7b5      Dm/F
   A town is born of silver and stone

       Bb  C     Bb   C      Dsus4   D
   And beaten to sand by the tide

     Gm     Bb      Fm6         G7sus4   G7       
   A town becomes a mark on the soul

      Gm             D7           Gm    G
   Of those who will cross that divide


[BRIDGE]
 
  Em7b5    Ebmaj7       F          Bb7  
   Come unto me,  we'll lie in the grass

      Em7b5     Ebmaj7  D7          Gm
   We won't be ashamed, summer will pass

  Em7b5     Ebmaj7   F             Bb7            
   Felling a tree to hide from the wild

  Em7b5        Ebmaj7   D7        Gm
   Weaving the reeds to cover our child

            
[CHORUS]      
      
   Cm/F  Gm6     A7          D7
    Save me, the ghost in my heart

   Cm/F  Gm6     Am6        D7  
    Save me, the mark on my soul

   Cm/F  Gm6     A7         D7
    Save me, the end of the summer

   Cm/F  Gm6     Bbadd9         D7
    Save me, I'm  not  feeling whole


[VERSE 3]

     Gm      Bb      Em7b5        Dm/F
   A clan is made of marriage and blood

       Bb    C    Bb  C    Dsus4   D
   The journey is our only prize

       Gm   Bb     Fm6        G7sus4  G7 
   And if a clan is rent into two
 
       Gm             D7           Gm
   You still have her lips and his eyes


[BREAK/ORGAN SOLO]

 Save me, the ghost in my heart
 Save me, the mark on my soul
 Save me, the end of the summer
 Save me, I'm not feeling whole


[VERSE 4]

        Gm      Bb       Em7b5     Dm/F
   This place is made of water and rock

       Bb    C      Bb   C     Dsus4   D
   Yet burns in the pyre of the stars

      Gm       Bb     Fm6           G7sus4  G7
   My love for you is stronger than that
        Gm           D7       Eb*   Eb/DB
   I'll find you wherever you are

   A clan is made of blood

*if you want to try and hit all the bass root notes in the END,
play the following Eb slash chords. Or just playing a normal
Eb until the D7 sounds okay too.
