Iron & Wine – Sixteen Maybe Less (Ukulele)

C
Beyond the ridge to the left, you asked me what I want

Am
Between the trees and cicadas singing around the pond

F                                                 G
"I spent an hour with you, should I want anything else?"

C
One grinning wink like the neon on a liquor store

Am
We were sixteen, maybe less, maybe a little more

F                                               G
I walked home smiling, I finally had a story to tell

F                         G
And though an autumn time lullaby

         Am      G       F
Sang our newborn love to sleep

F                     G
My brother told me he saw you there

       Am        G         F    G
In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting

C
I met my wife at a party, when I drank too much

Am
My son is married and tells me we don't talk enough

F                                               G
Call it predictable, yesterday my dream was of you

C
Beyond the ridge to the west, the sun had left the sky

Am
Between the trees and the pond, you put your hand in mine

F                                                   G
Said, "Time has bridled us both, but I remember you too"

F                         G
And though an autumn time lullaby

         Am      G       F
Sang our newborn love to sleep

F                       G
I dreamt I traveled and found you there

       Am        G         F    G
In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting.
