The Decemberists – Tain Part 3 (Guitar)

Em                        Cmaj7
They settled dust in your hair

   D                   C
To watch you shake and shout it out.

Em                 Cmaj7
With our armaments bared

   D                 C
We shed our bags and travel-alls.

Em                  Cmaj7
From the lee of the wall

   D                          C
He comes in the change and the chariot

Em                     Cmaj7
And all his eunuchs in thrall

    D                        C
Can scarce lift his line and lariat.

B
Here come loose the hounds

   A
To blow me down.

            (E  A) x3
Blow me down.

B
On this stretch of ground

     A
I'll lay me down.

            Ab
Lay me down.

          F#
To sleep.

Em                    Cmaj7
And now stricken with pangs

     D                      C
That tear at our backs like thistle down

Em                       Cmaj7
The mirror's soft silver tain

  D                   C
Reflects our last and birthing hour

B
Here come loose the hounds

   A
To blow me down.

            E A E A
Blow me down.

B
On this stretch of ground

     A
I'll lay me down.

            Ab
Lay me down.

B
Here come loose the hounds

   A
To blow me down.

            E A E A
Blow me down.

B
On this stretch of ground

     A
I'll lay me down.

            Ab
Lay me down.
