Anais Mitchell - Wedding Song INTRO: E7 EURYDICE:
 E
Lover, tell me if you can
Who's gonna buy the wedding bands?
 G6          E
Times being what they are

 G6              Asus2           E
Hard and getting harder all the time
ORPHEUS:
 E
Lover, when I sing my song
All the rivers sing along
     G6                        E
And they're gonna break their banks for me
To lay their gold around my feet All the flashing in the pan, all the fashion for your hand
     G6            Asus2               E
The river's gonna give us the wedding bands
EURYDICE:
 E
Lover, tell me, if you're able
Who's gonna lay the wedding table?
 G6          E
Times being what they are

 G6               Asus2          E
Dark and getting darker all the time
ORPHEUS:
 E
Lover, when I sing my song
All the trees gonna sing along
     G6                  E
And bend their branches down to me
To lay their fruit around my feet The almond and the apple And the sugar from the maple
     G6         Asus2            E
The trees gonna lay the wedding table

Lover, when I sing my song
All the birds gonna sing along

And they'll come flying 'round to me
To lay their feathers at my feet And we'll lie down in eiderdown, A pillow 'neath our heads

I believe the studio recording is in C, which would mean capo 8 with these chord shapes. -fairly basic travis picking pattern; do whatever sounds right to you. -Eurydice is the female part and Orpheus is the male part. -transcribed by robertdanielmaher (at) gmail (com)
