Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Loom of the Land: chords

                        Fm
It was the dirty end of winter
                       G#
Along the loom of the land
                          D#  C#
When I walked with sweet Sally
          Fm
Hand upon hand
                    Fm
And the wind it bit bitter
                G#
For a boy of no means
                     D#  C#
With no shoes on his feet
                   Fm
And a knife in his jeans
                      Fm
Along the loom of the land
                  G#
The mission bells pealed
                         D#   C#
From the tower at Saint Mary's
                  Fm
Down to Reprobate Fields
                   Fm
And I saw that the world
                    G#
Was all blessed and bright
                    D#   C#
And Sally breathed softly
                Fm
In the majestic night

Chorus:
              D#
O baby please don't cry
           Fm
And try to keep
            D#            C#
Your little hand upon my shoulder
           Fm
Now go to sleep

Well the elms and the poplars
Were all turning their backs
Past the rumbling station
We followed the tracks
We found an untrodden path
And followed it down
The moon in the sky
Like a dislodged crown
And my hands they burned
In the folds of her coat
Breathing milky white air
From deep in her throat

Chorus:
Oh baby please don't cry
And try to keep
Your little head upon my shoulder
Now go to sleep

I told Sally in whispers
I'll never bring you harm
Her breast it was small
And warm in my palm
I told her the moon
Was a magical thing
It shone gold in the winter
And silver in spring
And we walked and walked
Across the endless sands
Just me and my Sally
Along the loom of the land

Chorus:
Oh baby please don't cry
And try to keep
Your little head upon my shoulder
Now try to sleep
Oh baby please don't cry
And don't you weep
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Now try to sleep
