Tab by Alec Brandt
Finger picking isn't too hard here. You got it.
Intro (x2):
Am Em F G
 Am   Em   F-
My Ambell tower's Emringing but it Fisn't you Gsinging
we Amdon't know that Emsong anyFmore
and Amwinter bones Embreaking if it Fain't shook it's Gshaking
this Amtangle of Emfate outside my Fdoor
Intro (x1)
Oh Amthreadbare in Emperil this Fcold christmas Gcarol
we Amjump from the Embridge in our Fmind
it's Amone for the Emmoney, at Ftwo you go Ghungry
my Amblue shoes are Emdraggin the Fline
-  F-
Leave a Clantern, on the Amtrail
I'm not Fasking for Cmuch just your Gmeadowsweet Ftouch
If by Cmorning you're Gready to Amsail
don't Fwait for so Clong cause you Gknow that I'm Fgone
-  F-
You can Amlock up your Emtreasure and Ftake drastic Gmeasures
we Ammarch toward the Emgrave all the Fsame
it's a Amshort life of Emtrouble your Fchurch turns to Grubble
and Ambeauty has Emnever had a Fname
well my Amhead's in your Embranches, I Fsquandered my Gchances
I've Amgiven the Emlast I can Fgive
this Amempire's Emfalling the Fpace is Gappalling
how Amcan a poor man Emstand such time and Flive
-  F-
So leave a Clantern, on the Amtrail
I'm not Fasking for Cmuch just your Gmeadowsweet Ftouch
If by Cmorning you're Gready to Amsail
don't Fwait for so Clong cause you Gknow that I'm Fgone
-  F-
           Am              C         (I think the chords switch here, correct me if I'm wrong)
So leave a lantern, on the trail
I'm not Fasking for Cmuch just your Gmeadowsweet Ftouch
If by Cmorning you're Gready to Amsail
don't Fwait for so Clong cause you Gknow that I'm Fgone

If By Morning by The Pines

Tab by Alec Brandt

Finger picking isn't too hard here. You got it.

Intro (x2):

Am Em F G

Am Em F

Am Em F G

My bell tower's ringing but it isn't you singing

Am Em F

we don't know that song anymore

Am Em F G

and winter bones breaking if it ain't shook it's shaking

Am Em F

this tangle of fate outside my door

Intro (x1)

Am Em F G

Oh threadbare in peril this cold christmas carol

Am Em F

we jump from the bridge in our mind

Am Em F G

it's one for the money, at two you go hungry

Am Em F

my blue shoes are draggin the line

C Am

Leave a lantern, on the trail

I'm not asking for much just your meadowsweet touch

If by morning you're ready to sail

F C G F

don't wait for so long cause you know that I'm gone

- -

Am Em F G

You can lock up your treasure and take drastic measures

Am Em F

we march toward the grave all the same

Am Em F G

it's a short life of trouble your church turns to rubble

Am Em F

and beauty has never had a name

Am Em F G

well my head's in your branches, I squandered my chances

Am Em F

I've given the last I can give

Am Em F G

this empire's falling the pace is appalling

Am Em F

how can a poor man stand such time and live

- -

C Am

So leave a lantern, on the trail

F C G F

I'm not asking for much just your meadowsweet touch

If by morning you're ready to sail

don't wait for so long cause you know that I'm gone
