Capo 4th Fret

G           F**         Em    Em**
Tears falling slow.
           C/G                        C**      C/G
From the bridge into the river below. 
G             F**         Em      Em**
In your eyes I start to see. 
          C/G                          C**     C/G
A starry veil and the oceans of infinity.
  

Chorus   

Cm                               D
moon and stars above me. 
G        Bm       Em      G        C
mingle with the blood inside my veins. 
Cm                                  D
empty arms that should be
G            Bm            Em         G      C
holding me close through nights of winter rain. 
G          Bm       Em                G              C
and I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain.
Cm                 D  
It's colder than ever
G                F**   Em   Em**
coming down ............(then the whistling bit)
C

verse 2
G                         
Now I'm drowning in shallows
f**               Em     Em**
Cause I'm in so deep 
C/G                               C**
There's neon melting in the rain
                             C/G
I took too much powder to sleep 
G
When I hold you naked 
F**                 Em      Em**
When I hear your laugh 
               C/G              C**
I got a sword to stem the rivers 
                     C/G
And cut the moon in half..

chorus 
Cm                  D
Frozen stars above me 
G       Bm        Em     G        C
Mingle with the blood inside my veins
Cm                                   D
Empty arms that should be 
G             Bm            Em        G       C
Holding you close through nights of winter rain
G         Bm        Em                 G           C
And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain 
Cm                 D
It's colder than ever 
G
coming down 
F
coming down 
B flat
coming do-- ----wn 
                  D
coming down 

Verse 3

we danced wild 
kicked off our shoes
not a cloud in the the sky to confuse.
now the sky is cold and the sea is white 
and there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun 
and scratching the mountain side

Video Coming Down

David Gray - Coming Down
Earlier work from David.

David Gray - Ain't No Love - Coquihalla Hwy., B.C.
This was taken while driving down the highway, just past the toll booth, coming down from the Coquihalla Summit towards Vancouver.

Life In Slow Motion (David Gray Cover)
I struggled a bit with this one! I can't compare to David Gray's powerful voice on a good day and I think I might be coming down with a cold. :(

Jackson Browne For A Dancer
BBC Old Grey Whistle Test 1976 With David Lindley Keep a fire burning in your eye Pay attention to the open sky You never know what will be coming down I don't remember losing track of you You were always dancing in and out of view I must've thought you'd always be around Always keeping things real by playing the clown Now you're nowhere to be found I don't know what happens when people die Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear That I can't sing I can't help listening I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round Crying as they ease you down (Alt:crying is the easier down) 'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing Dancing our sorrow away (Right on dancing) No matter what fate chooses to play (There's nothing you can do about it anyway) Just do the steps that you've been shown By everyone you've ever known Until the dance becomes your very own No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown In the end there is one dance you'll do alone Keep a fire for the human race Let your prayers go drifting into space You never know will be coming down Perhaps a better world is drawing near And just as easily, it could all disappear Along with whatever meaning you might have found Don't let the uncertainty turn you around (The world keeps turning around and around) Go on and make a joyful sound Into a dancer you have grown From a seed somebody else has thrown Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go May lie a reason you were alive but you'll never know

Tribute to Trooper David Shawn Blanton
This is a video I put together in honor of Trooper David Shawn Blanton of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. End of Watch June 17, 2008. God bless you Trooper and may you rest in peace. To G5; brothers, I have never seen such an example of strengh as I did in all of you this weekend. I was glad to be there, and I'm honored to wear the grey uniform with you. God Bless DS Blanton, his family and G5. Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone When they come I will stand my ground Stand my ground I'll not be afraid Thoughts of home take away my fear Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears Once a year say a prayer for me Close your eyes and remember me Never more shall I see the sun For I fell to a German's gun Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Where before many more have gone
