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.
[Intro]
F# B
[Verse]
F# B F# B
Someone gets to be the river, someone is the sea
F# B F# B
Someone gets to be the fire, someone is the leaves
F# B F# B
And someone's walking in the morning light and calling to it cold
F# B F# B
Everybody moves beneath the truest stars they know
[Chorus]
G#m B F# B F# B
Jesus and his trophy wives are praying for the suicides and the orphans
G#m B C# B C#
Save us all from what we want, beautiful and beaten back to life
F# B
[Verse]
F# B F# B
Someone has the door to heaven, someone has the lock
F# B F# B
Someone has to be the dove, when someone is the hawk
F# B F# B
And someone's talking to the miles around and hearing them for good
F# B F# B
Everybody's branch is falling harder than they should
[Chorus]
G#m B F# B F# B
And I know Jesus and his trophy wives are praying for the broken to be noticed
G#m B C# B C#
Save us all from what we want, beautiful and beaten back to life
F# B
E B F# B
Back to life
E B F# B
Back to life
