Fleet Foxes – Oliver James (Guitar)

G             Em                   C              G
On the way to your brother's house in the valley, dear,

G            Em              C               G
By the river bridge a cradle floating beside me.

G              Em           C                 G
In the whitest water on the banks against the stone

G                 Em            C                   G
You will lift his body from the shore and bring him home

Oliver James washed in the rain no longer

G              Em              C               G
On the kitchen table that your grandfather did make

G              Em              C                G
You and your delicate way will slowly clean his fate

G                 Em             C                   G
And you will remember when you rehearsed the actions of

G               Em             C               G
An innocent and anxious mother full of anxious love

C      G     C             G    Em C  G       (Optional: C G C G Em C G C G) 
Oliver James washed in the rain no longer

Oliver James washed in the rain no longer

Am                C               Am                 C
Walk with me down Ruby Beach and through the valley floor

Back we go to your brother's house emptier my dear 

G                    Em             C              G
The sound of ancient voices ringing soft upon your ear
