	G	Cadd9	G	Cadd9
	Just where it now li	es I can no longer sa	y

	G	Cadd9	G	Cadd9
I	found it on a	cold and November	day

	G	Cadd9	G	Cadd9
In the	roots of a Sycamore	tree where it had hid so lon	g

	G	Cadd9	G	Cadd9
In a	box made out of	Myrtle lay the Bone of Son	g

The Bone of Song was a jawbone, old and bruised

Worn out in the service of the Muse

And along its sides and teeth were written words

I ran my palm along them and I heard

	Em	G	D	C	G	D	C
	"Lucky are	you who	finds me in the	wilderness

	Amin7	Amin7/G	G/F	G	Cadd9	G	Cadd9
I	am the only	unquiet ghost	that does not seek	rest"

The words on the bone of song were close and small

And though their toungues were dead I found I knew them all

In the hieroglyphs of quill and quatrain lines

Osiris, the fall of Troy, and Auld Lang Syne

Kathleen Mauvoreen, Magnificat, Your cheatin' heart

The chords of a covenant king singing for the Ark.

Then I saw on a white space that was left

A blessing written, older than the rest

And it said "leave me here I care not for wealth or fame

I'll remember your song but I'll forget your name"

The words that I sang blew off like leaves in the wind

First like birds on the branches before landing on the bone again, again

Then the bone was quiet it said no more to me

So I left it in the ribbons of the Sycamore tree

And as night had come so I turned around and headed home

With a lightness in my step and a song in my bones

"Lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness

I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest"

Cadd9: x30033
