As recorded by Portugal. The Man (From the 2007 Album CHURCH MOUTH) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
       F                  G
Summer came and I lost my shoes

            F                                G
Purple gold linens, pressed them down in the basement

    Bb           A       Ab       G
And if you don't know or see them clouds

     Bb          A       Ab
Will step to the sky and wind down

Ab
Tell me what you know, tell me what we get

                                                      G
Tell me where we go then tell me when you come back around
[Chorus]
          Bb        G
Calm will find your soul

G
Those tired lonely lips dragged him down to the train tracks

          Bb        G
Calm will find your soul

G
Left them purple gold lids sitting down in the basement

          Bb        G
Calm will find your soul

G
And if we die here will we ever be back again?

          Bb        G
Calm will find your soul

G
Dawn was likely lined in the coming of men

     C                                                    G
That shuffled, slithered legs till they knew how to stand
[Verse 2]
Bb           A      Ab              G
Every time I grow I know I'll never change

            C          F                              G
Because the lemon tree sways, but I knows he'll never find me

Bb        A            Ab              G
I know my problems and know where they lie

G
(Tell me what you know, tell me what we get

                 Ab
Tell me where we go then tell me when you come back around)
[Chorus]
G         Bb        G
Calm will find your soul
Those tired lonely lips dragged him down to the train tracks
          Bb        G
Calm will find your soul

G
Left them purple gold lids sitting down in the basement

          Bb        G
Calm will find your soul

G
And if we die here will we ever be back again?

          Bb        G
Calm will find your soul

G
Dawn was likely lined in the coming of men

     C                                                    N.C.  C  G
That shuffled, slithered legs till they knew how to stand
[Verse 3]
G
My brother's busy laughing at the end of the hall

           C
Said "That man's not a doctor if he cures no cancer"

G
Placed in the back where there are no dancers

F                             G                    C  G
Crooked steps, diamonds and a bag housing answers

  G               Ab
I step to sky and wind down

 Ab
(Tell me what you know, tell me what we get

Ab
Tell me where we go and when you come back around)
[Chorus]

Calm will find your soul

Calm will find your soul
