(Riff 6th fret 3rd string from bottom like recording 009)

Is this the only thing that is left
When the flesh is pared away
Just a tiny core remains
After all else has decayed
Will the sum of all your parts
Come to more than you are worth
Will it matter what they think
When they put you in the earth (go into the F section)

(slow and long notes with rhythm guitar country)

(for each of these lines change on end word vocal distant ad libs harm changes down from 4th above so notes come closer in contrary motion)

There's no sky

There's no sea

There's no sound

Only me
(kick into beat and short instr on chorus chords)

Why do the wild birds in the trees
The trees themselves, the clouds, the breeze
All know exactly what to do
And never have to think it through
There's something else that drives all this
Am I the only one it missed
When the rules were handed out
To tell us what it's all about

Chorus

Mid 8
Why is it always overcast
Nomatter where I set my mast
Even the heavens of my past
Yeh they were always overcast

Instr out of mid 8 (new chords)

Chorus x 2
(Solo out)
