Intro:
E B G# C#m B E
Verse 1:
F# C# B F#
I walk these streets where my soulless feet
B C# F#
Haunt the ground where it was I once tread
F# C# B F#
On Grafton's Arcade pours the rich commerce rain
B C# F#
Though the voices I no longer hear speak
Verse 2:
E B G# C#m
Heaven's to blame so on that I'll abstain
F# B
Best clean the church from my cracked fingernail
Chorus:
E B G# C#m
But don't let me die still wondering
B E
What it was I left behind
Verse 1:
F# C# B F#
From God's golden plate begrudgers they eat
B C# F#
Till their belly's burst ignorance bliss
F# C# B F#
Never they roam a wanderless home
B C# F#
Is as far as their sorry eye sees
Verse 2:
E B G# C#m
Give me a rusty ol' goat well trampled and soaked
F# B
Until these ashes and blood mingle deep
Chorus:
E B G# C#m
But don't let me die still wondering
B E
What it was I left behind
Interlude:
G#m F# E B G#m F# E
G#m F# E B G#m F# E

Bridge:
G#m F#
Though I've been that face before
E B
Slammed every open door
G#m F# E
Squandered once scattered beliefs
G#m F#
So when the waves come crashin' in
E B
I'll swim as the ocean swims
E B
Out with the morning tide
F# B
Then back for my tea
E B E B E B
Verse 1:
F# C# B F#
So I'll do as I please like the well-tempered breeze
B C# F#
Blowin' which way I see fit
F# C# B F#
I'll grey with the clay seven days till the day
B C# F#
When they throw me on the potter's scrap heap
Verse 2:
E B G# C#m
But take my advice; you'll have to bury me twice
F# B
Cause the first time I won't rest easily
Chorus:
E B G# C#m
But don't let me die still wondering
B E
What it was I left behind
Chorus Variation:
C#m G#m A E
So don't let me die still wondering
C#m G#m A
What it was I left behind
C#m G#m A E
I want a race well run ahead of the gun
C#m G#m A
With a dance before the far finish line
C#m G#m A E
So no life long regrets, only well feathered steps
C#m B A
Until these shoes I can no longer shine
C#m G#m A E
But don't let me die still wanderin'
C#m G#m A
For the love I left behind
