Chords

[Intro] B [Gang of Youths] [Verse 1]
B
Older brother, restless soul, lie down

B
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth

B
And you'll hear your sister sleep talking

B
Say, "Your hair is long but not long enough to reach

B
Home to me

B
But your beard

B
Someday might be"
[Chorus 1]
G#m                   E                 B
And she woke up in a cold sweat on the floor

G#m                   E                 B
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four

G#m                   E                 B             E
And beside a jar of two-cent coins that are no good no more

            B
She'll lay it aside
E B (x2) [Mumford & Sons] [Verse 2]
B
Older father, weary soul, you'll drive

B
Out to the home you made on the mountainside

G#m               E           B
With that ugly, terrible thing

E                   B
Those papers for divorce

E
And a lonely ring

       B
A lonely ring

       E
Sit on your porch

        B
And pluck your strings
[Chorus 1]
G#m                   E                 B
And you'll find somebody you can blame

G#m                   E                 B
And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea

G#m                   E
And you'll find the peace of the Lord
B C#m G#m B E x4 [Gang of Youths] [Verse 3]
E
Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly

E                                   B
Over your life once more before you die

G#m                   E                 B
Since our grandma passed away

E                   B          E
You've waited for forever and a day

        B
Just to die

          E
And someday soon

         B
You will die
[Gang of Youths - Mumford & Sons] [Chorus 3]
G#m                   E                 B
Oh the only woman you ever loved

G#m                   E                 B
She got burnt by the sun too often when she was young

G#m                   E                  G#m           E
And the cancer spread and ran into her body and her blood

G#m                   E                 B
And there's nothing that you can do about it now
B [Outro] B C#m G#m B E B
