City & Colour - Against The Grain This is a great song, a side note thought... this is normally played in the key of E, but I find it easier with CAPO 4. Listen to the song for the finger-picking pattern, or just strum if you're lazy. [CHORDS]

[INTRO] C/G Am G Fmaj7 C/G Am G Fmaj7 [VERSE 1]
         C/G          Am
you need not to climb mountaintops

         G               Fmaj7 
you need not to cross the sea

         C/G    Am
you need not to find a cure

    G                      Fmaj7
for everything that makes you weak

         C/G          Am
you need not to reach for the stars

     G            Fmaj7
when life becomes so dark
[CHORUS]
    C/G                Am
and when the wind does blow against the grain

G               Fmaj7
you must follow your heart

G                    C/G  
you must follow your heart
C/G [VERSE 2]
            C/G            Am 
when all your friends have come and gone

        G             Fmaj7
and the sun no longer shines

        C/G           Am
and the happiness for which you long

          G                  Fmaj7
is washed away like an Ocean's tide

     C/G                Am
when all the hard times outweigh the good

    G                  Fmaj7
and all your words are misunderstood
[CHORUS]
    C/G                Am
and when the day seems lost from the start

G                   Fmaj7
you must follow your heart

G                    C/G  
you must follow your heart
C/G [VERSE 3]
       C/G  Am
if you feel you've paid the price

         G                   Fmaj7
and your wounds should cease to heal

    C/G            Am
and everything you love in life

G                    Fmaj7
spins like a winding wheel

   C/G                Am
if you should wake to find you're abandoned

        G               Fmaj7
and the road you travel leads to a dead end
[CHORUS]
     C/G                Am
when death creeps in to play it's part

G                  Fmaj7
you must follow your heart

G                    C/G  
you must follow your heart
