Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Simple  backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see,
Take  some rest as if not wicked. And walk around enjoying silence.
 A world  away, elders gather. Speaking their tongue and hardly falter.
 With words  of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance.
 To drawn  hate like a stone,
 walk  the path overgrown.
 Never lie  awake,
 And so for goodness  sake.
Well  down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking.
Rattling  beasts and heavy movements, Mark them now son before we lose them.
Bear  your arms ever so wisely, Or burn them all if you have no need.
 And dress  to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary.
 To drawn  hate like a stone,
 walk  the path overgrown.
 Never lie  awake,
 And so for goodness  sake.
 Now call  me crazy but all the old  ways,
 Of living  simple are simply  fading.
 And all  we buy is time before  we die,
 lay on down  desensitized.
A  wise old friend recently told me: "An idle mind is the devils playpen".
Mind  the gaps and watch them closely. Spread the love but choose your friends wisely.
Love  yourself to love your family, And find the difference between wants and needs.
 Be sure  to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something.
 To drawn  hate like a stone,
 walk  the path overgrown.
 Never lie  awake,
 And so for goodness  sake.
 Now call  me crazy but all the old  ways,
 Of living  simple are simply  fading.
 And all  we buy is time before  we die,
 lay on down
 And all  we buy is time before  we die,
 lay on down  desensitized.
