Orphans chords by Beck

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

This is the first song on "Modern Guilt".

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

     F       C
(Break): Cast out these creatures of woe
G        D
Who shatter themselves
F     C    G     D
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

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