C# F7 F# D#m7-5 In the still of the night, in the world's ancient light C# G#7sus4 C# G# Where wisdom grows up in strife C# F7 F# D#m7-5 My bewildering brain, toils in vain C# G#7sus4 C# Through the darkness on the pathways of life F# F#m6 C# Each invisible prayer is like a cloud in the air F# C# D#7 D#m7 Tomorrow keeps turning around C# F7 F# D#m7-5 We live and we die, we know not why C# G#7sus4 C# But I'll be with you when the deal goes down We eat and we drink, we feel and we think Far down the street we stray I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by Things I never meant nor wished to say The midnight rain follows the train We all wear the same thorny crown Soul to soul, our shadows roll And I'll be with you when the deal goes down The moon gives light and shines by night I scarcely feel the glow We learn to live and then we forgive O'er the road we're bound to go More frailer than the flowers, these precious hours That keep us so tightly bound You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies And I'll be with you when the deal goes down I picked up a rose and it poked through my clothes I followed the winding stream I heard a deafening noise, I felt transient joys I know they're not what they seem In this earthly domain, full of disappointment and pain You'll never see me frown I owe my heart to you, and that's saying' it true And I'll be with you when the deal goes down | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC# D#m D#7 D#m7 F F# F#m F#m6 F7 G# G#7 G#7sus4 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
