Keane - Dirt Chords

[intro]
F#m  A  E  D
F#m  A  E

[verse 1]
F#m          A
 It's market day when
E               D
 they bring the flood
F#m      D       E       A   E
faster than our feet can run
F#m        D      E     A
 swarm of angels from above
 D      F#m      E         A E
 all is broken still they come

[pre chorus]
     D         F#m
And round the oak tree
 A       E
air is shaking
 D         F#m    A    E
children sleep under the sun

[chorus]
     D                A
and we go down to the river to pray
E                  Bm
pray for magic and another day
         D
but its low now, its like
        A
we're fading away
 E                 D
into the dirt of memory

[verse 2]
F#m         A
along the silk road
E           D
the fires burn
F#m         D         E       A
where the seats of learning stood
F#m           D
and handsome couples
E            A
would take a turn
D            F#m       E      A
through the wealthy neighbourhood

[pre chorus]
     D        F#m       A        E
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
D         F#m        A        E
wake oh, wake your time has come

[chorus]
     D                A
and we go down to the river to pray
E                  Bm
pray for magic and another day
         D
but its low now, its like
        A
we're fading away
E                 Bm
into the dirt of memory
      D                 A
and we go down to the river today
    E                       Bm
we pray for silence and we pray for grace
         D
but its low now
              A
still you're rubbing my face
E                 D
into the dirt of memory

[bridge]
Gmaj7
Ooooooooooo
        G   D Bm   A G
In a shop in Al-Medina
      Gmaj7        D   A   G
And a house in the old quarter
                D     A    Gmaj7
and I'll never sleep again
E               Gmaj7
Centuries lived in these stones
  E
I dont think you know

[instrumental]
F#m  A  E  D
F#m  D  E  A

[pre chorus]
     D        F#m      A         E
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
 D        F#m          A       E
wake oh, wake your time has come

[chorus]
      D                A
and we go down to the river to pray
E                  Bm
pray for magic and another day
         D
but its low now, its like
        A
we're fading away
E                 D
into the dirt of memory
                       A
and we go down to the river today
    E                       Bm
we pray for silence and we pray for grace
         D
but its low now
              A
still you're rubbing my face
E                 D
into the dirt of memory
