Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
Strawbs - Face Down In The Well CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] Am Dm C G F G Am (2x) [Verse 1] The countryside was out of sight
The Fsky was acid Amblue The Gsaplings Emwere beFside themselves The Dmstorm had passed on Gthrough The Amtrees were dressed in racing silk A Fvibrant grass-snake Amgreen With Gmaidens Emclutching Fviolets In Gmany shades beAmtween
[Chorus]
But E7somewhere in the Amdistance I could Dmhear the tolling Ambell I E7saw myself reAmflecting back E7Face down in the Amwell
[Instrumental] Am Dm C G F G Am [Verse 2] The tolling bell reminded me
Of Fsomeone I had Amlost I Gcould not Emquite reFmember who Or Dmwhat had been the Gcost AmNaked from the waist up FNaked upside Amdown No Gmatter Emhow you Fbreak your fall You Gsure as hell will Amdrown
[Verse 3] The hounds from hell were howling
For the Fmany wasted Amyears While Gevery sEmin was Fwashed away With Dmsemi-precious Gtears AmSome said it was suicide FOthers first deAmgree No Gmatter Emwhat the Fparadox Was Gsomehow lost on Amme
[Chorus]
But E7somewhere in the Amdistance I could Dmhear the tolling Ambell I E7saw myself reAmflecting back E7Face down in the Amwell
[Instrumental] Am Dm C G F G Am (2x) [Verse 4]
The Amcourage of a patient man Is Fmeasured in his Ampace GSome may Emtake the Fhigher ground DmOthers run the Grace AmSome folks do the dandy strut And Ftrade as ne'er do Amwell But GI have Emalways Fpleased myself GThat is why I Amfell
[Chorus]
E7Somewhere in the Amdistance I could Dmhear the tolling Ambell I E7saw myself reAmflecting back E7Face down in the Amwell
[Chorus]
E7Somewhere in the Amdistance I could Dmhear the rebel Amyell I E7saw myself reAmflecting back E7Face down in the Amwell
[Outro] Am Dm C G F G Am
