Bm G A F#m G A
The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey
Bm G A F#m G A
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again

(With Intro melody)
D G A
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather

(With Intro melody)
D G A
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry


Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather
Quiver in my voice as I cry
D5 E5 A5 (A6) A5
"What a cold and rainy day.
D5 E5 A5 (A6) A5
Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime, now, I'm far behind
You've put in bout half a day while here I lie
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry

"What a cold and rainy day.
Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

G-A (slide up) G-A
Do I need someone here to hold me
G
or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me
G-A (slide) G-A
out of this four poster dull torpor
G Dsus2
pulling downward

D5 E5 G A
For it's such a long time since my better days.
D5 E5 G A
I say my prayers nightly this will pass away

The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry

(guitar solo)

D5 E5 A5 (A6) A5
"What a cold and rainy day.
D5 E5 A5 (A6) A5
Where on earth is the sun hid away?"
D5 E5 A5 (A6) A5
"What a cold and rainy day.
D5 E5 A5 (A6) A5
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.

Dsus2

Transcribed by Phil Saunders, from the In My Tribe album.
This should be close, except for the F#m in the verse.
Perhaps this chord should be an A6 or a D or a F#m in fifth position?
I'm not sure which fits best.

Corrections welcome, as is tab for the guitar solo.
It starts in fifth position playing around with the chords.
