Gregory Alan Isakov – August Clown (Guitar)

F                 C
[tab]  Am       Em          F
And I just figured out why

 Am        Em     F            C
I've been walking through the sand

     Am    Em        G
With just you on my mind

     Am         Em         F       C
And all that's left of the summer sky

       Am      Em    F      C
Is the moment you're flying by

        Am       Em      F        C
There's things a boy can never tell

Am       Em      F         C
Know you by your hands too well (2x)

Am   Em            F        C
Damn you from this wretched boy

       Am     Em        F         G
You've stolen more than sleep and joy

    Am        Em         F  C
An' I'm goin' back where I belong

          Am      Em        F            G
Where the time is right and straight and slow

 Am   Em         F  C
Going back where I belong

 Am     Em         F        C
Just to watch them thistles grow

F                  C
August skin's left golden brown

         Am       Em           F      C
And I've seen too much of this lonely town

Am       Em       F       C
Too much thinking walking 'round

Am       Em      F      C
Too much talking August clown (2x)

Am   Em            F        C
Damn you from this wretched boy

       Am     Em        F         G
You've stolen more than sleep and joy

Am        Em         F C
I'm going back where I belong

          Am      Em           F         G
Where the time is straight and right and slow

Am    Em         F  C
Going back where I belong

Am      Em         F        C
Just to watch them thistles grow...
