Orphans chords by Beck

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

This is the first song on "Modern Guilt".

      D MajorD
(Verse 1): I think I'm stranded but I don't know where
      Bb majorBb        C majorC       D MajorD
I got this diamond that don't know how to shine
D MajorD
In the sun where these dark winds wail
     Bb majorBb          C majorC     D MajorD
and these children leave their rulers behind
   Bb majorBb    C majorC       D MajorD
As we cross ten leagues from a Rubicon
   Bb majorBb     C majorC    D MajorD
with matchsticks for my bones
     Bb majorBb      C majorC     FF    G+G
If we can learn how to freeze ourselves alive
    Bb majorBb          C majorC      D MajorD
We can learn to leave these burdens to burn

     FF       C majorC
(Break): Cast out these creatures of woe
G+G        D MajorD
Who shatter themselves
FF     C majorC    G+G     D MajorD
Fighting a fire with your bare hands

(Verse 2, same chords as Verse 1):
Now my journey takes me further south
I wanna hear what the blind men sing
With their fossils and their gypsy bones
I'll stand beside myself so I'm not alone
And how can I make new again
What rusts every time it rains
And the rain it comes, and floods our lungs
We're just orphans in a title wave's wake

    B minorBm              D MajorD
(End): If I wake up and see my maker comin'
B minorBm                   D MajorD
With all of his crimson and his iron desire
Bb majorBb                     D MajorD
We'll drag the streets with the baggage of longing
   C majorC     G+G        FF
To be loved or destroyed, from a void
   C majorC    G+G      D MajorD
to a grain of sand in your hand.
