CAPO 1 ( whatever fits your voice best! )
[Verse 1]
Am
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
F
That we are to know
Am
Winter stole summer's thrill
F
And the river's cracked and cold
Am
See the sky is no man's land
F
A darkened plume to stay
Am
Hope here needs a humble hand
F
Not a fox found in your place
[Chorus]
Am G F
No man is an island, this i know
But can't you see?
Am G F
Maybe you were the ocean when i was just a stone
[Verse 2]
Am
Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
F
That we are to hold
Am
Comfort came against my will
F
And every story must grow old
Am
Still I'll be a traveller
F
A gypsy's reins to face
Am
But the road is wearier
F
With that fool found in your place
[Chorus]
Am G F
No man is an island, this i know
But can't you see?
Am G F
Maybe you were the ocean when i was just a stone
So here we are
