	A	D	A
	I meant to ask you h	ow to fix that c	ar

	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 w	heels

	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 w	ithout	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 l	ived what you b	elieved

	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 w	ithout	end

	E	D
	Gone now is the day and gone the s	un

	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 w	ithout	end
