9. Your Bones
(Tabber: rprev2)
Capo 3
Verses:
In the sBmpring we made a boat
Out of fBmeathers, out of bones.
We set fGire to our hDomes,
Walking Gbarefoot in the Dsnow.
Distant Bmrhythm of the drum
As we dBmrifted towards the storm.
Baby Glion lost his tDeeth,
Now they're sGwimming in the Dsea.
Troubled spirits on my chest
Where they laid to rest.
The birds all left my tall friend
As your body hit the sand.
Million stars up in the sky
Formed a tigers eye
That looked down on my face,
Out of time and out of place.
Chorus:
So hoEmld on,
G/BHold on to whatEm we are,
G/BHold on to yourBm heart.
Awaken by the sound
Of a screaming owl.
Chasing leafs in the wind,
Going where we've never been.
Said goodbye to you my friend,
As the fire spread.
All that's left are your bones
That will soon sink like stones
Chorus:
SoEm hold on,
G/BHold on to what wEme are,
G/BHold on to your hBmeart.
Instrumental: same as verse
SoEm hold on,
G/BHold on to your Bmheart.

(Tabber: yetihw)
Capo 1
Intro C, Am, Fmaj7, C
CThe sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't Amnotice
The seaweed that Fmaj7wrapped its arms aroundC you
CThe carpet on my cheek feels like the Amfall grass
and I run through the Fmaj7tall trees with your hand chasingC me
CThe books that I keep by my bed are full of your Amstories
That I drew up from Fmaj7a little dream of mine a little nightmare ofC yours
CTo be asked to take this plunge to forgive and Amforget
and be the better Fmaj7man, to be a better man, to be a betterC man
So Clove me mother, and Amlove me father, and Fmaj7love my sister as Cwell
CThe cat's silhouette as big as a Ammonster
In this concrete jFmaj7ungle with street lights hanging theirC heads
CSo make all your last demands for I will forAmsake you
and I'll meet your Fmaj7eyes for the very first time, for the very lCast
So Clove me mother, and Amlove me father, and Fmaj7love my sister as Cwell
So Clove me mother, and Amlove me father, and Fmaj7love my brother asC well
So Clove me mother, and Amlove me father, and Fmaj7love my sister as Cwell
So Clove me mother, and Amlove me father, and Fmaj7love my brother asC well
