Chords
One of my favorite Iron & Wine songs, off the titular album Woman King. The harmonic progression is very
simple, and is played throughout the verses and chorus as 6 beats of Em, 2 beats of D. During the musical
interludes, you play the following lead guitar bit, which should take 2 measures in total. All notes are
e|-------------------|-------------------------| B|-------------------|-------------------------| G|-------------------|------------2--0---------| D|------2---------2--|------2-----------4/5\4--| A|--0h2-------0h2----|--0h2--------------------| E|-------------------|-------------------------|
[Intro]
Em D Em D
[Verse 1]
Em Blackbird claw, raven wing D Under the red sunlight Em Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves D Waving as we go by
[Chorus]
Em Hundred years, hundred more D Someday we may see a Em Woman king, wristwatch time D Em Slowing as she goes to sleep
[Interlude]
Em D Em D
[Verse 2]
Em Black horse fly, lemonade D Jar on the red ant hill Em Garden worms, cigarette D Ash on the window sill
[Chorus]
Em Hundred years, hundred more D Someday we may see a Em Woman king, sword in hand D Em Swing at some evil and bleed
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Em Black hoof mare, broken leg D Eye on the shotgun shell Em Age-old dog, hornet nest D Built in the big church bell
[Chorus]
Em Hundred years, hundred more D Someday we may see a Em Woman king, bloodshot eye D Em Thumb down and starting to weep
