Begin Melody (Play twice)

| [C][Riff]   | [C]   | [C]   | [C]   |

| [C] And | if the | snow |
| [C] bu- [Em] ries | [Am] my, |   
| [E7] my [F] neighbor- | [C] hood. [Riff]  
|   [C]   |   [C]   |   [C]  

And | [C] if my | parents are | crying
| [C] then I'll [Em] dig a tun- | [Am] nel
from | [E7] my win- [F] dow to | [C] yours, |
| [C] yeah [Em] a tun- | [Am] nel from |
| [E7] my win- [F] dow to | [C] yours. [Riff]
|   [C]   |   [C]   |   [C]   |

| [C] You | climb out the | chimney
and | [C] meet me [Em] in the | [Am] middle,
the | [E7] middle [F] of the | [C] town.   | [C]  
And | [C] since there's | no one else a- | round, |
| [C] we let [Em] our hair grow | [Am] long
and for- | [E7] get all we [F] used to | [C] know, |
| [C] then our [Em] skin gets | [Am] thicker
from | [E7] living out [F] in the | [C] snow.

Chorus
You change | [C] all the lead |
| [C] sleepin' | in my head, |
| [Am] ...as the | [Am] day grows dim |
| [Am] ...I hear you | [Am] sing a golden |
| [G] hymn. | | [G7]   | [G6]   | [G]   |

| [C][Riff]   | [C]   | [C]   | [C]   |   

| [C] Then we | tried to name our | babies,
| [C] but we for- [Em] got all the | [Am] names that,
the | [E7] names [F] we used to | [C] know. [Riff]  
| [C]   | [C]   | [C]  
  
But | [C] sometimes, |   we remember our | bedrooms,
| [C] and our [Em] parent's | [Am] bedrooms,
and the | [E7] bedrooms [F] of our | [C] friends. |
| [C] Then we [Em] think of our | [Am] parents,
well | [E7] what ever [F] happened to | [C] them?!

Chorus
You change | [C] all the lead |
| [C] ...sleepin' | in my head, |
| [Am] ...as the | day grows dim |
| [Am] ...I hear you | sing a golden |
| [G] hymn.  The | [G7] song I've been trying to | [G6] say.   | [G]

Chorus
| [C] ...Puri- | fy the colors, |
| [C] ...Puri- | fy my mind.   |   
| [Am] ...Puri- | [Am] fy the colors, |
| [Am] ...Puri- | fy my |
| [G] mind, and spread the | [G7] ashes of the | [G6] colors
| [G] over this heart of mine!

| [C][Riff]   | [C]   | [C]   | [C]   |
