Into The WestCifra

D   A 
Lay Down 
Em                   Bm 
Your sweet and weary head 
D        A 
Night is falling 
Em                         Bm 
You have come to journey's end 
 
D     A 
Sleep now 
Em                         Bm 
Dream-of the ones who came before 
D        A 
They are calling 
Em                    Bm 
From across a distant shore 
 
Bm            D/A 
Why do you weep? 
G             Asus     A       Bm 
What are these tears upon your face? 
               Bm/A 
Soon you will see 
G           Asus       A    Bm 
All of your fears will pass away. 
            D/A 
Safe in my arms 
G            A 
You're only sleeping 
D 
What can you see? 
G 
On the horizon. 
D                      A 
Why do the white gulls call? 
D 
Across the sea 
G 
A pale moon rises. 
D 
The ships have come 
             A 
To carry you home. 
Bm           D/A    G       A 
And all will turn to silver glass. 
Bm             D/A 
A light on the water 
G         A 
All souls pass. 
 
D     A 
Hope fades 
Em                Bm 
Into the world of night. 
D               A 
Through shadows falling, 
Em                Bm 
Out of memory and time. 
D        A   
Don't say 
Em                      Bm 
We have come now to the end. 
D                 A 
White shores are calling 
Em                  Bm 
You and I will meet again. 
 
              D/A        G 
And you'll be here in my arms 
     A 
Just sleeping. 
D 
What can you see? 
G 
On the horizon. 
D                       A 
Why do the white gulls call? 
D 
Across the sea 
G 
A pale moon rises. 
D 
The ships have come 
             A 
To carry you home. 
Bm           D/A     G       A 
And all will turn to silver glass. 
Bm             D/A 
A light on the water 
G          A 
Grey ships pass 
         D 
Into the west.
