Into the west

Song composer: Howard Shore


Into the west
C     G      am
Lay down
                                     F
Your sweet and weary head
C           G 
night is falling
                 Am                       C
You have come to journey's end
C       G
Sleep now
        Dm                                         C
And dream of the ones who came before
C            G
They are calling
          Dm                      Am
From across the distant shore
Am              C
Why do you weep?
Am                  C          G           Am
What are these tears upon your face?
Am                 C
Soon you will see
Am             C                     C
All of your fears will pass away
C         G    F
Safe in my arms
F                  C     G
You're only sleeping
C
What can you see
F         C
On the horizon?
                                      G
Why do the white gulls call?
C
Across the sea
F                   C
A pale moon rises
The ships have come 
    C  F         G
to carry you home
Am              G    F            G
And all will turn to silver glass
Am                G
A light on the water
F    C       G
All Souls pass
C       G
Hope fades
Am                      F
Into the world of night
C                           G
Through shadows falling
Am                          C
Out of memory and time
C      G
Don't say
Dm                                    C
We have come now to the end
C                         G
White shores are calling
Dm                           Am
You and I will meet again
                      Am             C
And you'll be here in my arms
        G
Just sleeping
C
What can you see
F         C
On the horizon?
                                      G
Why do the white gulls call?
C
Across the sea
F                   C
A pale moon rises
The ships have come 
    C  F         G
to carry you home
Am              G    F            G
And all will turn to silver glass
Am                G
A light on the water
F      C       G
grey ships pass 
             C
Into the West
