Santiagos Lament

Am
Close my weary eyes
      F                 G               Am
Under choking clouds of ash and darkest dust

    Am
The silver kiss of sleep is lost
      F                 G             Am         G
I can feel these broken cogs begin to rust

[Chorus]
             F           G                Am
But when the end finally comes I won't despair
          F              G               Am
I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there

[Verse]
Am
Try to keep a blank page
          F             G                  Am
But these memories they flood my mind with grief

Am
Faces lost forever
        F                G              Am
And the guilt of feeling some kind of relief

[Chorus]
             F           G                Am
But when the end finally comes I won't despair
          F              G               Am
I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there

[Bridge]

Am                     Am/D     Am/C
Ten long years I could see your ghost
Am                     Am/D     Am/C
Ten long years I could see your ghost
Am                     Am/D     Am/C
Ten long years I could see your ghost
Am                     Am/D     Am/C
Ten long years I could see your ghost

[Interlude]
C                G             Am
As this world of twisted metal falls
      C               G                Am
I can hear the demons tearing down the walls
       C               G             Am
In the face of so much hate and cruelty
      F             G             Am
In my mind's eye my angel's all I see

[Instrumental]
Am Am Am Am
Am Am Am G

[Chorus]
             F           G                Am
But when the end finally comes I won't despair
          F              G               Am
I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there
