SONG: Biting Your Tail ARTIST: Iron and Wine ALBUM: Walking far from Home [Single] STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO
E may your eyes be wide and seeing A may your learn from the view where you're kneeling E know the fear of the world that you're feeling B is the fear of a slave
E may you know how the fight was started A want as much for the snake as the garden E wear them both like a gBlove that you can wEave
E may your mouth betray your wisdom A may you get what they fail to mention E may your love be your only religion B preach it to us all
E may you lose what you offer gladly A may you worship the time and it's passing E stars won't ever waBit for you to watch them fEall
C#m we're the smoke on a burnt horizon A we're a boat on a tide that's rising E both the post and the pig you're untying B butcher gone for the blade
C#m someday we may all be happy A someday all make a face worth slapping E someday we may be shocked to be laughing B at the way you behave
E may your hands be strong and willing A may you know when to speak and to listen E may you find every friend that you're missing B there's no check in the mail
E may you end up bruised and purple A know that peace is the shape of a circle E round and round you Bgo E biting your tail
(synth part: E A E B E)
C#m we're the journey and the wind is whipping A short hands on the clock still ticking E both the egg and the red fox grinning B his belly full for the day
C#m someday we may all want nothing A and all forget that we'll get whats coming E someday all say the world was something B that we just couldnt change
E may your tongue be soft and wicked A know your part in the calf and the killing E see straight through the captain you're kissing B helm lose in his hand
E may your words be well worth stealing A put your hand on your heart while singing E choirs sick of the sBong but they still gotta Estand
