Capo: 2

The Desert Babbler – Iron & Wine It’s in the key of A, but I tabbed it in G so that it's easier to play. If you want it to sound like the actual song, either put a Capo on II or transpose it up by 2 so that the first chord is A. Intro – G Em Am D x2

^GIt's New Ye^Emar's Eve ^AmAnd California's gon^Dna kill you soon ^GThe Barstow ^Emboys ^AmBug eyes in the shad^Dow of the moon

^GBlack ^Emhouses in the hills and road^Amside haunts Dying for a p^Dlace to fall apart ^GWho kn^Emew what you could learn to live with^Amout Mother Mary's^D lying in your mouth, now

^BmBack ho^Emme the kitchen's warm with C^Amhristmas wine And every girl has ^Dgot an axe to grind ^BmYou liv^Eme to look for hell, man But you're ^Amfar from the ^Chard light to^Dnight

^GSo qui^Emetly we lost another y^Amear The desert put a ^Dbabbler in your ear ^GHe will ^Emfind a way to not miss you ^Amagain Barstow boys all ^Dspit into the wind

^BmBack ho^Emme the hammer always has to ^Amfall Cross is barely ^Dhanging on the wall ^BmSomeday^Em I know you'll never leave me But we're f^Amar from the h^Card light ton^Dight
