I Came To Hear The Music chords by Bonnie Prince Billy

Artist: Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham)
Album: Ask Forgiveness
Released: 2007
This song is a cover of "I Came To Hear The Music" by Mickey Newbury.

Long Time First Time - I did my best to time it out and make it easy to follow, which means I could have done
the exact opposite. There's alot more to this song than just these chords, but these should get you started.

Obviously there's lots of picking and whathaveyou, but I've found that it sounds pretty just strumming and
singing while you're bored, or trying to get some girl to take her clothes off.


D                  A        G
I came to hear the music,
G                  D
I came to hear the sound
?D                  A        G
???????????????The music,
G                      D
God knows it brings me down  ?
Em     A               D
????????? A long, long road????
Em     A               D
???????????from now to then????
?Em     A               D           A
???????????I know your song,  sing it again

      G                                 Bm
'Cause there's so many things I don't believe I understand?
      G                                 Bm
How the days turn into weeks, turn into months
      G                                 Bm?
The   year's become a moment in the     ever changing sand
      G                                 Bm                        A?          D
Did   God make time to keep it all from happening at once? All at once
D                  A        G
I came to love the music
G                  D
before I  came  to be?
?D                  A        G
.......To know the music
G                  D
before it came to  me

Em     A               D
??????A long long time ago????
Em     A               D
??????????I don't know when????
?Em     A               D           A
???????????We sang a  song,  along with the wind
      G                                 Bm
'Cause there's so many things I don't believe I understand?
      G                                 Bm
How the days turn into weeks, turn into months
      G                                 Bm?
The   year's become a moment in the     ever changing sand
      G                                 Bm                        A?          D
Did   God make time to keep it all from happening at once? All at once
D                A?????.
I came to be the music
