Strum
D-DU-UDU
Through  the gardens and fields ‘neath the tall green grass
 You were walking  ‘neath the moon while covering your tracks
Working  your fingers down to the skin and stone
One  hand on the hammer, one  foot by the door
Pushed  by the wind,  fed by  the need for  moving on,
 Moving on  to nowhere
When  division runs deep and down into the well
 All the coins  you dove after lost all their spell
Covered  in moss walking for silver and blood
Out  in the cafe,  working  in the grove
Guarding  the port  of the future  you sold
 Holding on,  holding on  to no one
 Holding on,  holding on  to no one
One  eye in the mirror,  the other  on the screen
Sewn  in the pockets  and down  into the dream
Caught  up in the mortar,  bricks  and heavy load
Wait  in the shadows  down  the living road
 Moving on,  moving on  to no one
 Holding on,  holding on  to no one
 Pretty sure this is right, although he seems to do a sort of walkdown thing
 between the Em and the C in the verses which I can't figure out. Anyways, great
 song, great band. Check out the album its from, Algiers. It's great.
