   Gm       A#      Em7-5       Dm 
A house is made of mortar and wood
     A#                    Dsus4   D
Yet sinks in the mud to decay
  Gm      A#       Fm6         G7sus4 G7
A house becomes a ghost in the heart
    Gm             D7       Gm
Of those who have gone far away

A town is born of silver and stone
And beaten to sand by the tide
A town becomes a mark on the soul
Of those who will cross that divide

 Em7-5    D#maj7      F          A#7
Come unto me,  we'll lie in the grass
   Em7-5     D#maj7   D7          Gm
We won't be ashamed, summer will pass
 Em7-5     D#maj7  F             A#7
Felling a tree to hide from the wild
 Em7-5       D#maj7   D7        Gm
Weaving the reeds to cover our child

Chorus:
 Cm   Gm6     A7          D7
Save me, the ghost in my heart
 Cm   Gm6     Am6        D7
Save me, the mark on my soul
 Cm   Gm6    A7         D7
Save me, the end of the summer
 Cm  Gm6     A#            D7
Save me, I'm not feeling whole

A clan is made of marriage and blood
The journey is our only prize
And if a clan is rent into two
You still have her lips and his eyes

Chorus

This place is made of water and rock
Yet burns in the pyre of the stars
My love for you is stronger than that
I'll find you wherever you are

    D#      D#   D#   F9
A house is made of wood
     D#      D7      Gm   D#  
The town is born of stone
    D#     D7      Gm  Cm Gm C Gm Cm Gm C Gm
A clan is made of blood
