Chords

The song is tuned down a half-step, but you can play it normal and it sounds pretty. It's in 6/8 and the key of C (well, B once it's tuned down, but you get the idea). [Intro] Am / D7 / G / Em [Verse 1]

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by

Am        D7       G               F  G    C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light

   F G    C
To banner fair

   F          G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

[Verse 2]

Am          D7         G            Em
Through the forest and down to your grave

Am        D7         G            F  G    C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave

F    G  C
They do not

F        G
Know you anymore

[Interlude] Am / D7 / G / Em / Am / D7 / Em / F / G / C (keep strumming C) [Chorus]

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well

C           F    G
How can the body die

    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true

[Verse 3]

Am     D7       G         Em
In the town one morning I went

Am     D7          G            F  G  C
Staggering through premonitions of my death

F G     C   F  G
I don't see anybody that dear to me

[Chorus]

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well

C           F    G
How can the body die

    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true

Em   Am
Jessie

C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done

Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon

C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done

Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon

[Outro] Am / D7 / G / Em Am / D7 / G / Em
