Elway - Unclaimed Graves Chords

[Intro]
D G A D G A
 
then
D G D G Bm G Bm G
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
  The small laments are laid
             G     D
in unclaimed graves Until
                        G
none but the heaviest remain
  F#m
A burden silhouetted in a
G
sideways beam’s anemic light
Bm           A                G
  The living severed from the life
 
 
[Instrumental]
D G D G
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
  I etched our names into
    G
the broad side of infinity
   D
And Never dreaming there was
G
ever more than I could see
  F#m
A billion chance collisions
     G
aggregated in a history
Bm            A            G
  To be paved over in the street
 
 
[Chorus 1]
           Bm    A
Are you a small spark
D              G
flashing in my brain
      Bm  A     D
Or an old ghost rattling
     G
it’s chains?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
           D
Either way I’m
                A/C#
remembering the way
                   Bm
you always used to say
              A
You’ve got to pick which
         G
ditch to die in take your
A               D
lumps and walk away
 
 
[Verse 3]
    G
The lost track of time
         D          A
carves a gulf in between
    G
An eternal return and an
D      A
exiled dream So if it’s
G
nothing to you then
     D          A
it’s nothing to me
   Bm            A
To pin the past upon
           G     Bm A
the summer breeze
 
 
[Verse 4]
   D
To land upon the earth
            G
you have to fly Through
D
towering black clouds
          G
against a massive purple
   F#m
sky   To be born again then
                  G
you first have to die
     Bm            A
So I headed west under
         G
cover of night
 
 
[Chorus 3/Outro]
           D
Either way I’m
                A/C#
remembering the way
                   Bm
you always used to say
              A
You’ve got to pick which
         G
ditch to die in take your
A               D  G D G Bm G Bm G
lumps and walk away
