Chords

A very rare Iron & Wine song from his early days. As more of his archived recordings get released, I can only hope this one will be added to the canon at some point! [Verse 1]
                D                    Bm
Strength like a stone, a texture you know

                 G                     A
And sewn in your children's quilts you made

           D                 Bm
Can you be meek, lowered and weak

         G           A
Possibly tired as to see
[Chorus]
G             A         D    A         G
Her eyes upon you under blue leaves at night

G                 A            D   A       G   A
And what will you do with your new kind of sight?
[Interlude] D Bm G A D Bm G A G A D A G G A D A G A [Verse 2]
          D                   Bm
Cluttered asides and marginal lines

            G                  A
Home to the closest jewels you owned

                D                        Bm
Strength like a stone, a pressure you've known

            G                 A
Better than footsteps leading home
[Chorus]
G                A         D    A         G
And eyes wanting you under blue leaves at night

G             A               D    A      G   A
But you never knew until they sank out of sight
[Outro] D Bm G A D Bm G A D
