F#m                    D
  I came down over the sleepy mountains where our
Bm                           D
  Wide toes plunged into the weeping shale to tear our
F#m                           D
  Skin up off from the bottom leaves our ankles bare
Bm                           D
  Don't just wander back and forth and leave it

[Bridge 1]
F#m           D
Build it into pinnacles and shrines of some
Bm                D
  Some ghastly predicament of mine you'll find
F#m                   D
  Leaves us plastered to a bed of hairs with
Bm                               D
Me all coiled up near the bottom with my chest unbeared

[Chorus]
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with grateful arms
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with grateful arms

[Verse 2]
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is low watch
Bm                  D
 Fluent sea men rig   their rudders so they'll
F#m                        D
  Graze it with their wind   arrows
           Bm                     D
Tis in the fathoms that-that they brush below-low

[Bridge 2]
F#m                 D
  Oh my dreams come back to me, back to me, back to...
Bm               D
  Oh my wrinkles build on me, build on me, build on...

[Chorus]
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with grateful arms
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with grateful arms
