Artist: Gregory Alan Isakov
Song: Caves
Album: Evening Machines
Tabbed By: Jo Lefebure
Capo 4, but without capo'ing the low E string.
The low E is used to add bass to the C-chord in the song.
So your starting position will look like this:
e|--4--|
b|--4--|
g|--4--|
d|--4--|
a|--4--|
e|--0--|

you go ahead

there’s something i forgot
Am Em
walk slow and i’ll catch up

let’s hear the stars do their talking
Am Em
i used to love caves
F C
stumble out into that pink sky
Am Em
remember that bright hollow moon
F C
it showed our insides on our outsides
Am Em F C
this town closes down the same time every day
Am Em
put out the smoke in your mind
F C
let’s put all these words away

Am Em
now i think i like birds
F C
see them fly from St. Paul
Am Em
and I go running when the night aches
F C
i hear her every time she calls
Am Em
did i hear something break
F C
was that your heart or my heart
Am Em
like when the earth shakes
F C
then the silence that follows
Am Em F C
this town closes down the same time every day
Am Em
put out the smoke in your mind
