[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
Older brother, restless soul, lie down
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth
And you'll hear your sister sleep talking
Say, "Your hair is long but not long enough to reach
Home to me
But your beard
Someday might be"
And she woke up in a cold sweat on the floor
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
And beside a jar of two-cent coins that are no good no more
She'll lay it aside
Older father, weary soul, you'll drive
Out to the home you made on the mountainside
With that ugly, terrible thing
Those papers for divorce
And a lonely ring
A lonely ring
Sit on your porch
And pluck your strings
And you'll find somebody you can blame
And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
And you'll find the peace of the Lord
Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly
Over your life once more before you die
Since our grandma passed away
You've waited for forever and a day
Just to die
And someday soon
You will die
Oh the only woman you ever loved
She got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
And the cancer spread and ran into her body and her blood
And there's nothing that you can do about it now
