 Emmylou Harris    Bang The Drum Slowly  written by Guy Clark
                                                    Emmylou Harris
 A                   D               A
 I meant to ask you how to fix that car
   D                                 A 
 I always meant to ask you about the war
 F#m              D                   A
 And what you saw across a bridge too far
                E
 Did it leave a scar
            A         D                 A
 Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel
          D                             A                    
 Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
 F#m                     D                    A
 And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
            E
 How did it feel
 D                    A
 Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
    E                      A
 To dust be returning from dust we begin
 D                         A
 Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
 F#m       D        A      E      A
 Above and below me world without end
 A                           D                 A
 I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost
 D                                        A
 And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
 F#m                            D               A
 There was still that line that you would never cross
        E
 At any cost
            A                D              A
 I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
      D                              A
 With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
 F#m             D           A
 And if you ever really were deceived
                 E
 By the likes of me
 D                    A
 Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
    E                      A
 To dust be returning from dust we begin
 D                         A
 Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
 F#m       D        A      E      A
 Above and below me world without end
 E                                 D
 Gone now is the day and gone the sun
         A
 There is peace tonight all over Arlington
         E                              D
 But the songs of my life will still be sung
        A                     E
 By the light of the moon you hung
            A       D                A
 I meant to ask you how to plow that field
 D                                   A
 I meant to bring you water from the well
     F#m        D                   A
 And be the one beside you when you fell
           E
 Could you tell
 D                    A
 Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
    E                      A
 To dust be returning from dust we begin
 D                         A
 Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
 F#m       D        A      E      A
 Above and below me world without end
