Capo: 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
One of my favorite Iron & Wine songs, off the titular album Woman King. The harmonic progression is very
simple, and is played throughout the verses and chorus as 6 beats of Em, 2 beats of D. During the musical
interludes, you play the following lead guitar bit, which should take 2 measures in total. All notes are
relative to the capo, which should be on the 2nd fret.

[Intro]
Em D Em D
[Verse 1]
EmBlackbird claw, raven wing
Under the Dred sunlight
EmLong clothesline, two shirtsleeves
Waving as Dwe go by
[Chorus]
EmHundred years, hundred more
Someday we Dmay see a
EmWoman king, wristwatch time
DSlowing as she goes to Emsleep
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
EmBlack horse fly, lemonade
Jar on the Dred ant hill
EmGarden worm, cigarette
Ash on the Dwindow sill
[Chorus]
EmHundred years, hundred more
Someday we Dmay see a
EmWoman king, sword in hand
DSwing at some evil and Embleed

[Verse 3]
EmBlack hoof mare, broken leg
Eye on the Dshotgun shell
EmAge-old dog, hornet nest
Built in the Dbig church bell
[Chorus]
EmHundred years, hundred more
Someday we Dmay see a
EmWoman king, bloodshot eye
DThumb down and starting to Emweep
