Beautiful Lonesome Animal

C            F          C
He dreams of lying in a bed
             Am           F
He dreams of dying in her arms
C                   F     C
In cities where the weary tread
       Am                 F
'Cross distant fields and farms
C      F             C
He forages for human pain
       Am           F
In the marrow of despair
                       C
He is a single drop of rain
    G                C
The fragrant evening air

       F                              C
And he keeps to the mountains and the valleys
   F                            G
He sleeps by the rivers and the streams
F                         Am
Comes to the edges of the shadows
C                              G
To water your life and deepest dreams
       F                           C
And he moves through ancient contradictions
         F                   Am
With the grace of a sacred machine
     F                  C
This beautiful lonesome animal
     G             C
That no-one's ever seen

C       F                C
You may catch him in the garden
       Am               F
If the evening light is good
C           F                 C
Is that him moving 'cross the hillside
     Am                  F
With soldiers, nails and wood?
C       F                C
You may feel him in your body
         Am         F
Weighing heavy as a thought
F                       C
And every notion of his mind
   G               C
Is everything he's not

       F                             C
And he keeps to the mountains and the valleys
F                            G
Sleeps by the rivers and the streams
F                         Am
Comes to the edges of the shadows
   C                           G
To water your life and deepest dreams
       F                           C
And he moves through ancient contradictions
         F                   Am
With the grace of a sacred machine
     F                  C
This beautiful lonesome animal
     G             C
That no-one's ever seen

F                  C
Out of a dreamless night
F                           C
We strut and rage our fated hour
F                           G
He holds one tear up to the light
         F
A single tear
                                  G
To break these chains of lust and power

       F                           C
And he moves through ancient contradictions
         F                   Am
With the grace of a sacred machine
F                       C
This beautiful lonesome animal
     G             C
That no-one's ever seen
