Artist: Iron & Wine Song: Winter Prayers Album: Ghost on Ghost Tabbed by: Blazn Blue I made this tab because the other ones on here have a few wrong chords as well as wrong lyrics. These lyrics are straight from the liner notes, and the chords have been taken from the KEXP performance. (http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=AxiCHPNqF3o) As usual with Sam Beam, he embellishes with hammer-ons and pull-offs. If you watch the live performance, you can get a good idea of these. Standard Tuning Capo II Verse 1:

^AmWell its cold, and ^Dmyou're bored^Dsus2 ^GFrom counting the smart cars on ^E94 ^AmWhen you dream you're b^Dmack home^Dsus2 ^GBut the lakeside don't trust you to ^Ewalk alone

Hol^Amlow trees, talk o^Dmffhand^Dsus2 ^GAll the neckties are toasting w^Eith empty cans ^AmAnd you know why sh^Dme's go^Dsus2ne ^GLike the clothes in the river, ^Edrifting on

Chorus:

^DmSlide down ^Gsouth ^AmCause once in a while your confidence leaves you Lik^Dme smoke falls ^Gout her ^Amred ^Emouth

Break:

^Am(pl^Dmay ^Dsustwice^G w^Eith ooh's and aah's) Verse 2: ^AmWell she left you the ^Dmhole^Dsus2s ^GThe tracks in the back yard, Dec^Eember snow ^AmBut those sad sou^Dmvenirs^Dsus2 ^GThey end at the fence line, and ^Edisappear

^AmWhy you'd follow her ^Dmthere^Dsus2' ^GMilwaukee's a deaf ear for ^Ewinter prayers ^AmThere's no night, there's ^Dmno da^Dsus2y ^GWith only hope in your pocket, and ^Ehell to pay

Chorus:

^DmSlide down ^Gsouth ^AmCause once in a while your confidence leaves you Lik^Dme smoke falls ^Gout her ^Amred ^Emouth
