Iron & Wine – Grace For Saints And Ramblers (Guitar)

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

             G                C
There were banged up hands stealing first base

      G                       C
Underneath the tables so we never sang grace

         G                    C
Falling out of bed for the workday week

             G                          C
There was kissing in the cracks of the flash flood streets

             G                  C
There were button blossoms and merry Johnny Rotten

G                                 C
Chewed up and swallowed by the profit they were trying to follow

G                     C                   G             C
Bit too green and we paid no tax on our quick romantic cul de sac

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

            G                      C
There were washed out cars in our bark-old clothes

            G                      C
They were rubbing on each other rubbing ghost on ghost

            G                    C
There were jonesed-up punks and Jesus freaks

        G                      C
Weaving in and out of trouble wrapping round and round a leash

            G                   C
There were sleepless dreamers, blues day preachers

     G                          C
The message and the messenger, gum beneath the register

      G                    C
The sweet gum tree by the dug dunk tank

           G                       C
We could never give enough to the bad-luck bank

            G                  C
There were hopeless sinners, sweepstake winners

 Am                                       C
They danced with the farmer's daughter, capered with the corporate lawyers

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

            G                      C
There was laughing in the night, sugar in the shade

            G                     C
There were back stab handshakes made on faith

           G                      C
We were never out of time and we never entertained

            G                       C
Anybody said out of habit that the wind was going to change

            G                 C
There were restless misfits, teething biscuits

Am                             C
Bodies full of penny wishes, parties full of pretty dishes

 G                      C
Side by side with the birds and bees

          G                       C
And we never sang grace and never ever took a knee

            G                     C
With the saints and ramblers, movie star handlers

Am                      C
High above the aviary, underneath the cemetery

G                       C      G                       C
  And we never wondered why, 'cause the sun was in our eyes

            Am                      C
There was seed for the field, there was grease for the wheel

            Am                          C
We were drinking with the luminaries, eating with the visionaries

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I

       D                 C       D C
But it all came down to you and I
