Another gem from Iron & Wine's new album.
The song is built around a simple pattern you hear in the intro. For a 4 count measure, F# is picked for
three counts, then B for the last count, and repeat.
I play this without a capo.

F#    B
[Verse]
F#Someone gets to be the Briver, F#someone is the Bsea
F#Someone gets to be the Bfire, F#someone is the leavBes
And someone's F#walking in the morninBg light and F#calling to it colBd
F#Everybody moves beBneath the trF#uest stars they knowB  
[Chorus]
G#mJesus and his trophy wives are Bpraying for the suicides and the F#orphansB  F#  B  
G#mSave us all from what we want, Bbeautiful and beaten back to C#lifeB  C#  
F#    B
