The Parklands (CHORDS) by Jimbo Scott
[Intro]~
E C#m
E C#m
[Verse]~
E
Deep vibrations in the Parklands
C#m
The humbleness of feeling small
E
I came to see the ghost deep in the mountains
C#m
And be a guest within her halls
B A
She had the timbre of the season
C#m B A
A summer warm and fresh and bright
B A
A city boy,.. I had forgotten
C#m B A B
Rushing whispers in the night
[Chorus]~
A
Oh boy
C#m
Don’t you lose me
E A
Your brothers cut me down everyday
A
They use fire
C#m
Stealing hunger
E A
Thin the blood rushing in my veins
A
Like the stars
C#m
I grow dimmer
E A
So record what I’m showing you today
A
Cause when they’re gone
E B
These quiet spirits,.. can’t be guaranteed
C#m
No they can’t be guaranteed
[Verse]~
E
She invited me to her stony doorway
C#m
She invited me to rest my feet
E
She said I will share my home with you if
C#m
Visiting is all you seek
B A
If you don’t love this place it can be dangerous
C#m B A
And if you do your heart it will keep
B A
There’s more,.. you may drown in it
C#m B A
So tread gently as if my home were me
[Chorus]~
A
Oh boy
C#m
Don’t you lose me
E A
Your brothers cut me down everyday
A
They use fire
C#m
Stealing hunger
E A
Thin the blood rushing in my veins
A
Like the stars
C#m
I grow dimmer
E A
So record what I’m showing you today
A
Cause when they’re gone
C#m B
These quiet spirits,.. can’t be guaranteed
C#m
No they can’t be guaranteed

Ohh oh oh
