Gregory Alan Isakov – The Stable Song (Guitar)

C/G                                    Fmaj7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers

     C/G    Gadd4          Am            Fmaj7
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air

C/G                        Fmaj7
Come down, come down sweet reverence,

C/G     Gadd4   Am       Fmaj7
Unto my simple house and ring

Fmaj7
And ring

Fmaj7             C/G      Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold

      C/G      Gadd4         Am   Fmaj7
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio

Fmaj7                 C/G   Fmaj7
Ring like clear day wedding bells

            C/G          Gadd4        Am         Fmaj7
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell?

Fmaj7
We'll never tell

Em                   Fmaj7
Come to me clear and cold

         C/G   Fmaj7  C/G
On some sea

Em                       Fmaj7
Watch the world spinning waves,

                C/G   Gadd11
Like some machine

C/G                             Fmaj7
Now I've been crazy couldn't you tell

        C/G          Gadd4           Am        Fmaj7
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell

C/G                                          Fmaj7
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table

       C/G       Gadd4       Am          Fmaj7
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable

Fmaj7
(mmm-mmhh, mmm-mm-mmhh)

C/G                            Fmaj7
That tall grass grows high and brown,

        C/G         Gadd4           Am    Fmaj7
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground

C/G                             Fmaj7
And you sent me back to where I roam

        C/G         Gadd4      Am    Fmaj7
Well I cursed and I cried, but now I know,

Fmaj7
Oh, now I know

      Am               Gadd4   Fmaj7
And I ran back to that hollow again

    C/G      Gadd4   Am         Fmaj7
The moon was just a sliver back then

       Am                     Gadd4   Fmaj7
And I ached for my heart like some tin man

        C/G       Gadd4         Am          Fmaj7
When it came, oh it beat and it boiled and it rang,

Fmaj7
Oh, it's ringing

Fmaj7             C/G    Fmaj7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell

        C/G  Gadd4      Am         Fmaj7
Turn me back into that wild haired gale

Fmaj7             C/G      Fmaj7
Ring like silver, ring like gold

              C/G   Gadd4         Am  Fmaj7
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal

              C/G   Gadd4         Am  Fmaj7
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal

Fmaj7
(mmmhhh)
