Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
Tears of Gold (Unreleased Live at Kingston)
by Michael G.Drexler
A
One day we are young
           E               C#m          G#m
And by the next one we are old despite the years
     A        E                A
The tears of gold precede the rapture
A                         E
Time has its way with everyone
       C#m            G#m
In its path she combs her hair
A        E           A
Tears of gold fall on the grave
A        E
Tears of gold
A        A/G#   A/F#   E
Tears of golden restraint
    A  A/G#   A/F# E             A        E
Is evidence of the pain that she feels inside
Bm        D                        A
Maryann settle down lets bring the bed around, how ‘bout?
    Bm                 D          E
And we’ll sing you to heaven and back
Bm                 D/F#               A
Laura-lee sets the food down on the tabletop for us
    Bm              D             E
And when she asked Maryann to say grace
D                E             A        E             A
Maryann settles down.. wiping tears of gold from her face
A
Where we are strong
         E                C#m          G#m
By tomorrow we will grow weak and disappear
         A                  E           A
Our families will gather 'round to remember
A
Where we are flesh and blood
          E              C#m            G#m
By the next one we are dust under the wheels
          A                 E             A
Without a love we're only ash in urns of silver
A        E
Tears of gold
A        A/G#   A/F#   E
Tears of golden restraint
    A  A/G#   A/F# E             A
Is evidence of the pain that she feels
A        E
Tears of gold
A        A/G#   A/F#       E                     A
Tears of gold precede the rapture and healed her soul
            A        E                    A
Replace the tears of gold with music & laughter
A         E
Tears of gold
A         E
Tears of gold.....
