The Hollow

Arpeggiate open A chord

[A]I wanted to find a h[D]ollow
a [E]place to fill the [D]empty in my [A]mind
[A]My silence had me caving i[D]nwards
and I [E]longed for us to [D]speak between the [A]lines

[Bm]And when I'd find that [D]hollow
I[A]'d leave every trace of it [E]behind
[A]I'd have known you'd f[D]ollow
[E]but this hollow was for [D]me alone to [A]find
[C#]Or so I thought    [D]
[C#]Or so I thought, oh[D] what a fool

[F#m]Oh what I was, oh what you are
[D]these are the strangest times
[E]Has my young love faded out of[A] sight?
[F#m]Oh where we were and where we are, they're not so [D]far apart
[E]We'll set off for that hollow at first [A]light, [Bm]yeah we will, [A]yeah we will

[A]At last we reached the h[D]ollow
we [E]sink down in the [D]moss upon the [A]ground
My [A]compass had been helter s[D]kelter,
[E]like a fly in a [D]fish bowl buzzing [A]round

Your [Bm]heart against my chest a-h[D]umming
it [A]sings your song of sorrow to me n[E]ow
[A]But my songbird shall not [D]wallow
[E]drawn back to this [D]secret we have [A]found
[C#]And I hear the water rushing [D]down below
[C#]it doesn't matter now, ooo[D]ooh

[Repeat Chorus]

[Cello solo over A and E]

[Repeat Chorus x2]
[Last line slower]

[F#m]Oh and we were, oh and we ar[E]e
