Chords

Tabbed by: Mohamed Awad (Cairo, Egypt. Sept 5th, 2017) Another gem from Iron & Wine's new album. The song is built around a simple pattern you hear in the intro. For a 4 count measure, F# is picked for three counts, then B for the last count, and repeat. I play this without a capo. [Intro] F# B [Verse]
F#                     B      F#             B
Someone gets to be the river, someone is the sea

Someone gets to be the fire, someone is the leaves

             F#                    B           F#               B
And someone's walking in the morning light and calling to it cold

F#                B           F#                    B
Everybody moves beneath the truest stars they know
[Chorus]
G#m                            B                                F#       B       F#    B
Jesus and his trophy wives are praying for the suicides and the orphans

G#m                            B                            C#    B    C#
Save us all from what we want, beautiful and beaten back to life
F# B [Verse]
F#                      B       F#                 B
Someone has the door to heaven, someone has the lock

F#                    B          F#                B
Someone has to be the dove, when someone is the hawk

                F#                  B         F#               B
And someone's talking to the miles around and hearing them for good

F#                      B      F#             B
Everybody's branch is falling harder than they should
[Chorus]

And I know Jesus and his trophy wives are praying for the broken to be noticed

G#m                            B                            C#    B    C#
Save us all from what we want, beautiful and beaten back to life
