Ryan Adams – Tears Of Gold (Guitar)

A
One day we are young

           E               C#m          G#m
And by the next one we are old despite the years

     A        E                A
The tears of gold precede the rapture

A                         E
Time has its way with everyone

       C#m            G#m
In its path she combs her hair

A        E           A
Tears of gold fall on the grave

A        E
Tears of gold

A        A/G#   A/F#   E
Tears of golden restraint

    A  A/G#   A/F# E             A        E
Is evidence of the pain that she feels inside

Bm        D                        A
Maryann settle down lets bring the bed around, how ‘bout?

    Bm                 D          E
And we’ll sing you to heaven and back

Bm                 D/F#               A
Laura-lee sets the food down on the tabletop for us

    Bm              D             E
And when she asked Maryann to say grace

D                E             A        E             A
Maryann settles down.. wiping tears of gold from her face

A
Where we are strong

         E                C#m          G#m 
By tomorrow we will grow weak and disappear

         A                  E           A
Our families will gather 'round to remember

A
Where we are flesh and blood

          E              C#m            G#m
By the next one we are dust under the wheels

          A                 E             A
Without a love we're only ash in urns of silver

A        E
Tears of gold

A        A/G#   A/F#   E
Tears of golden restraint

    A  A/G#   A/F# E             A
Is evidence of the pain that she feels

A        E
Tears of gold

A        A/G#   A/F#       E                     A
Tears of gold precede the rapture and healed her soul

            A        E                    A
Replace the tears of gold with music & laughter

A         E
Tears of gold

A         E
Tears of gold.....
