Chords for "Scattered"

Scattered/R. Davies

G        C

           G                 C
1.  Like a seed that is sewn
        G                      C
All the children are scattered
     G                    C
By a breeze that is blown
        G                       C
Now the crops are all scattered
       G            D
We are torn, we are shattered
    G                            C
Now some of us are barmy and battered
        G               D
And the fields where we gathered
    G                             C
Are overgrown in weeds and in tatters
           G           D
Through it all we were scattered
 
           G             C
2.  To the fields we are scattered
         G               C
From the day we are born
        G                    C
To grow wild and sleep rough
              G                 C
Till from the earth we are torn
      G            D
And a soul that is free
    G              C
Can live on eternally
        G               D
And the spirit can live on
            G                         C
Though it's scattered in the world beyond
              G
And I've been out of my mind
     D
Ever since she's been gone

Eb      Bb               F
I look around that empty room
             D                   Eb      
No sight nor sound, she left so soon, 
             Bb                F
She's out of view,  but then I found
                 D                      
Those scattered clues she left behind
                                                     
Eb
A photograph with a smiling face
 Bb                                                              
A cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace
 F                                                         
A coffee cup with her lipstick stains
D
I guess I'll never see her again

           G                     C
3.  Now my life is all scattered
      G                    C
Ever since she's been gone
       G                    C
I feel older, I feel fatter
           G               C
I feel the blues coming on
       G
We get bruised
       D
We get battered
          G                            C
But we'll pick up the pieces that scattered
          G
And with emotional glue
            D                                         
We're gonna stick together, body and mind

 Eb                                        
Ever since she went away
Bb
I've been alone to contemplate
F
Time and space and why world's move
D
While sitting in my solitude
Eb
I've watched the stars and wondered why
Bb
They're scattered up there in the sky
F
And is she up there out of view
D
On some higher platitude
Eb          Bb
I wish I knew
             F
Wish I could prove
The reason why this life on earth
D
Is scattered like the universe
Eb
Do-do,  do-do,  do-do,  do-do-do
Bb
Do-do,  do-do,  do-do
F
I'm scattered here and scattered there
D
Bits of me scattered everywhere
       G                       C
To the fields we are scattered
              G                C
Then from the dust we are born
      G                      C
We survive somewhat battered
         G                C
To a new life, a new dawn
       G                D
In the end what will it matter
         G                   C
There'll only be my ashes to scatter
            G
And all the logical answers
     D
To a worrying mind
        G                 C
Will be scattered in time
G                   C
Beaten and battered
       G             D
To the earth you are scattered
       G                          C
You're going home so what does it matter
      G
To an atomic mind
D                               Eb
Scattered here while you travel time
               G
Ah,  ah,  ah,  ah
