C#    E        B
The whole place is dark
Every light on this side of the town
Suddenly it all went down
Now we'll all be brothers of
The fossil fire of the sun
Now we will all be sisters of
The fossil glow of the moon
 
Someone must have set 'em up
Now they'll be working in the cold gray rock
Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam
Now they'll be working in the concrete
In the sirens and the silences now
All the great set up hearts
All at once, start to beat
 
(Intro Riff)
 
After tonight if you don't want this to be
A secret out of the past
I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it
I'll streak his blood across my beak
Dust my feathers with his ash
Feel his ghost breathing down my back
 
I will try, and know whatever I try
I will be gone, but not forever
I will try, and know whatever I try
I will be gone, but not forever
 
(This verse is played with the intro riff)
 
The real truth about it is
No one gets it right
The real truth about it is
We're all supposed to try
 
There ain't no end to the sands I been trying to cross
The real truth about it is
My kind of life's no better off
It's got the map, for if it's lost
 
We will try, and know whatever we try
We will be gone, but not forever
Come on, let's try, and know whatever we try
We will be gone, but not forever
 
The real truth about it is
There ain't no end to the desert I'll cross
I've really known it all along
 
C#        C#m                B             E
Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon it's jaws
C#        C#m                B
Must be the big star about to fall
 
C#     C#m     G#m
Long dark blues
Will-o'-the-wisp
The big star is falling
Through the static and distance
A farewell transmission

Good tab but when played live he used a capo on the 4th fret so the chords would be: Part 1: A C G Part 2: A Am G C A Am G Part 2: A Am Em
