Iron & Wine – Friends They Are Jewels (Guitar)

C                      F 
  Dreamless sleep will fall

       Am             G
Like a deep, poisoned well

C                F
  On the steeple birds

         Am         G
And this red-light hotel

F                    C          F
  So lay your pistol down, Granny

                      Am      G
The company men never came to you

F                       C          F
  But don't unknit your brow, Granny

                             Am                G
The mice in the yard ate the potted plants you grew

C                  F 
  Pour your bitter tea

        Am              G
For our sweet, liquored host

C                  F
  Perfect polished stones

         Am               G
But this breeze beats you both

F                    C          F
  So lay your pistol down, Granny

                      Am      G
The duty of men never fell to you

F                      C          F
  When you unknit your brow, Granny

                                        Am            G
Your friends, they are jewels, twice as beautiful and few
