A Memory's Lament
Reuben and The Dark
(Capo 5th Fret)

(C G C - C G F C - C G C)
I wrote a song for the ones that I remember
A memory's lament, all the lovers I have met
Well I wrote a song for the the ones that I forget

(C - F C B7 Am - F C Em)
And take these, dreams from me
I don't need an easy way now...
They're just dragging my body around

(F C F C F C G)
Well I... buried my brother, I
Buried my lover, I
Buried my head in my hands...


(F C F C F C G)
And you said...
All of my burdens are
Too much to bear, and your fingers through my hair...
When I wanted you to stay with me

(C G C - C G F C - C G C)
You come from the forrest I bet
With hair as long as a sunset...
You come from the forrest I bet
With soul as good as a hunter's guess

(C - F C B7 Am - F C Em)
And I was, younger than you
Well I saw these wicked ways
Another bill that time will... pay

(F C F C F C G)
Well I... buried my brother, I
Buried my lover, I
Buried my head in my hands...

And you said...
All of my burdens are
Too much to bear, And your fingers through my hair...
When I wanted you to stay with me
Who knew you'd be leaving me for...


(F C F C F C G)
Buried my brother, I
Buried my lover, I
Buried my head in my hands...

And you said...
All of my burdens are
Too much to bear, And your fingers through my hair...
When I wanted you to stay with me
Who knew you'd be leaving me for Dead... (Ends on Am)
