No More Songs

Into:

Dm /C /Bb /A

Verse 1: (use same chord pattern on all verses)

Hello, hello, hello

Is there anybody home?

I've only called to say

I'm sorry.

The drums are in the dawn,

and all the voices gone.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

Verse 2:

Once I knew a girl

She was a flower in a flame

I loved her as the sea sinks/sings(?) sadly

Now the ashes of the dream

Can be found in the magazines.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

Verse 3:

Once I knew a sage

who sang upon the stage

He told about the world,

His lover.

A ghost without a name,

Stands ragged in the rain.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

Interlude:

Dm /C /Bb /A

Verse 4:

The rebels they were here

They came beside the door

They told me that the moon was bleeding

Then all to my suprise,

They took away my eyes.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

Verse 5:

A (scar, star)?? is in the sky,

It's time to say goodbye.

A whale is on the beach,

He's dying.

A white flag in my hand,

And a white bone in the sand.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

Verse 6:

Hello, hello, hello

Is there anybody home?

I've only called to say

I'm sorry.

The drums are in the dawn,

and all the voices gone.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

It seems that there are no more songs.

It seems that there are no more songs.
