Steeleye Span


Tom: F

F

[Verse]
                        Bb
What is deeper than the sea?
Gm      C             F      C
What is higher than a tree?
    F                     Bb
And what is louder than a horn?
Gm      C              F
What is sharper than a thorn?

[Verse]
                        Bb
What is whiter than the light?
Gm      C               F       C
What is darker than the night?
    F                       Bb
And what is colder than the clay?
Gm      C                Dm
What is broader than the way?

[Chorus]
Dm   C  Bb
Tell me why, so many questions
     C  Bb
Tell me why the devil lies
     C  Bb
Tell me why
F        Eb      Bb       G
Who will live or who will die?
Dm   C  Bb
Tell me why, so many questions
     C  Bb
Tell me why the devil lies
     C  Bb
Tell me why
F         Eb       Bb  G
Which way leads to paradise?
Dm   C  Bb
Tell me why
     C  F
Tell me why

[Verse]
                        Bb
Hell is deeper than the sea
Gm        C             F     C
Heaven is higher than a tree
    F                        Bb
And thunder is louder than a horn
Gm        C              F
Hunger is sharper than a thorn

[Verse]
                         Bb
Truth is whiter than the light
    Gm       C               F      C
The devil is darker than the night
    F                        Bb
And death is colder than the clay
Gm      C                Dm
Love is broader than the way

[Chorus]
Dm   C  Bb
Tell me why, so many questions
     C  Bb
Tell me why the devil lies
     C  Bb
Tell me why
F        Eb      Bb       G
Who will live or who will die?
Dm   C  Bb
Tell me why, so many questions
     C  Bb
Tell me why the devil lies
     C  Bb
Tell me why
F         Eb       Bb  G
Which way leads to paradise?
Dm   C  Bb
Live or die
     C  F
Tell me why
