Iron & Wine – Postcard (Guitar)

                                     C
This postcard tells you where we've been

                           G
And dirty dreams of pious men

                             F
Who wake in fear but sleep again

                    G
With what they've done

                    C
With what they've done

                   G
With all they've done

                                 C
Some prophet died but wrote it down

                              G
Our serpent bell is on the ground

                             F
And all the ladies singing loud:

          G
"Hallelujah"

         C
"Hallelujah"

         G
"Hallelujah"

                                  F                 G
The meadow birds have found the bones of righteous men

               C                     G
Like ragged clothes, like precious stones

                           F               G
And fell like evil in the end, in aid of them

            C                  G
Those evil men, those perfect men

                          C
Some knuckle broken on disease

                                  G
Which pulled a preacher off his knees

                                F
A callous whisper through the trees

                  G
Blows: "patience boy"

                C
"More patience boy"

                G
"More patience boy"

                                C
And watch her children by the flame

                                 G
The ones you gave your father's name

                            F
Whose evil and his love remained

            G
Inside you boy

            C
Inside you boy

            G
Inside you boy

                                  F                 G
The meadow birds have found the bones of righteous men

               C                     G
Like ragged clothes, like precious stones

                           F               G
And fell like evil in the end, in aid of them

            C                  G
Those evil men, those perfect men

                                C
We'll sing a song we've never heard

                               G
Formed out of small forsaken words

                               F
And all the while that this occurs

                G
We’ll love you all

                C
We’ll love you all

                G
We’ll love you all

                                C
And for the beauty that we've lost

                                G
The measured time for love it cost

                               F
Despite our feelings for the cross

             G
We love you all

             C
We love you all

             G
We love you all
