Chords

From "The Medicine" Tabbed by thatchadmiller (Twitter) He's using similar weird chord shapes on this song as on other tracks on The Medicine. I'm pretty sure he's playing the D and D/C# in a similar pattern, but I did them in standard shape to make it flow easier. Verse 1

Bm4                                A6sus4                  G6  G6/F#
The lions in the street bend their heads for the reckoning day

           Bm4            B          A6sus4 B               G6  G6/F#
Cause the interstate's giving up her dead for the reckoning day

A6
Would you come alive everybody

Bm4 Would you come alive everyone

G6                        G6/F#              Bm4
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung

Verse 2 Bury all your guns in the sand cause the temperature's changed and the blood shot eye of the sun stains the bones of the slain Would you come alive everybody Would you come alive everyone Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung Verse 3 The hour's gonna take you apart on the reckoning day If the property lines of your heart are drawn in the clay Would you come alive everybody Would you come alive everyone Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung Verse 4 The tide water's taxing the shores of the washing away The flood stands high at your doors of the houses you made Would you come alive everybody Would you come alive everyone Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung Chorus 1

D            D/C#        Bm4
Lift up your head Oh you gate

             Em9                  D
Lift up your eyes all you who wait

            D/C#            Bm4
Daughter and son ashes and dust

Come untied from the weight of the age
