Intro: G       C   F C  x2 
Verse 1 
G                           C      F  C   
      There goes that old postman      

G                           C      F  C   
      Riding    on   his      bike        

G                           C         F  C  
    He's got a bag full of phone bills   

E                     Am   B7   
And nothing to justify           

CHORUS 1: 
Em*     Em/D#      G6         A     
   I'm as naked as a winter tree      

G5          G/F#     Em   D/A   
  With promises remote             

C            Cm   G5    G/F#      Em     D/A    
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade    

   C              Cm      G 
Observe the world below 

G       C   F C  x 2 

Verse 2 (same as the first) 
Once I had a calling 
This town praised my hands 
Now I'm sculpting apologies 
Cause folks they don't understand 

CHORUS 2 (same as the first chorus except the last chord does not resolve to a G, 
rather it pulls to Em to start the bridge, so the last line should be as follows:) 

   C              Cm      Em 
Observe the world below     

Bridge: 
Em  B7   

Em               G*(32000x)      
I could change myself 

A                              C     
There's so much else I could do 

A                   Cm     
Except I always knew 

       G5            G/F#      
I was deeper than dailyness 

       Em              D/A    
I was made to be manifest 

    C                Cm     Em7     C    >G 
The art like an amethyst of truth 

Verse 3 (same as 1&2) 
I know, it's only too clear 
Spiders spin their webs year after year 
I never had that kind of resolve 
To know my fear, to face it at all 

CHORUS 3 
Em*     Em/D#      G6         A     
   I'm as naked as a winter tree      

G5          G/F#     Em   D/A   
  With promises remote             

C            Cm   G5    G/F#      Em     D/A    
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade   

   C              Cm      Em*   Em/D#  G6  A   
Observe the world below         yeah   yeah     

   C              Cm      G 
Observe the world below
