Em
 
       G                D
at the sharp end of the view
A                 Em
the edge of me and you
            G                   D    A
in all good sense dare tread no further
Em         G                     D
and as the ghost will shiver trees
        A               Em
how I'm trembling on my knees
              G               D    A
but I'm still drawn on by the murmur
 
 
A     Em                 F   C

      B
in my circumstance
     Em                F     C
when still I wear your crown

Em     G                D
what I thought a pretty tune
    A              Em
was howling at the moon
           G            D     A
to keep me company this evening
Em      G             D
it's so lonely in the dirt
A                 Em
scratching at the hurt
          G              D     A
that I so generously did leave you

in my circumstance
     Em                F     C
when still I wear your crown
