Iron & Wine – Beneath The Balcony (Guitar)

Em
Let's go out and dance, darling, our last of days

    D
And grace the game with a blindfold on

    D
The cheaters came to play

                Em
And outside the soft-handed boys

          Em
Screaming cars and all their speed

D
Music, math, a hero begging change

    D
His sword across his knees

           C
And how he prays to find a man to blame

    Em
For every sleepless night he spends

        D
And for every well that he warned me of

    D
But wound up falling in

                 C
And then for the kids beneath the balcony

    Em
Who disregard the rain

                 D
To make sure the king won't grant

    D
The dead man one more day

Em
Let's go out and see, darling

Em
What shines tonight

    D
And temper your dream about the dying horse

     D
With traffic, noise, and light

                  Em
And somewhere the soft-handed boys

         Em
Bleeding hearts, and worker bees

D
Give to the holy mother begging change

D
Christ across her knees

                C
And oh, how she prays to find a man to blame

    Em
For every loveless night she waits

        D
And for every gun that she frowned upon

    D
But still some fucker made

                 C
And then for the kid beneath the balcony

  Em
Behind the garbage can

                  D
Who waits for the king to come

    D                    Em
And hold his sweating hand
