Birch Trees And Broken Barns chords by Caroline Smith And The Good Night Sleeps

Chords with lyrics

plays it on a ukulele. So technically, this is a ukulele
tab, but I played it through on a guitar, and it sounds
okay. I will give you specifics on both, just in case.

----------------

Chords:
No capo, both uke and guitar are played open
Optionally, you can play guitar with capo on 5, only strumming strings 1-4 (bottom
4 strings), and use the chords for the ukulele.

G:
 Uke: 0232 (regular)
 Guitar: 320003 (regular)

C:
 Uke: 0003 (regular)
 Guitar: x32010 (regular)

C7M: (I believe this is the real name, but it could be C7C7)
 Uke: 0002
 Guitar: x32000

*Note: the guitar gods on this site are changing C7M to Cm7, but they are not the
same chords. C7M is also referred to as Cmaj7, and is not the same as C majorC minor 7th.
I have left it as C7M, and not Cmaj7, for spacing purposes.

E:
 Uke: 4442
 Guitar: 022100 (regular)

D:
 Uke: 2225 (this is important)
 Guitar: xx0232 (sorry, you won't get that ring)

G+G      C majorC  Cm7Cm7  G+G
If we were kids again
   C majorC       Cm7Cm7    G+G
we'd hang out almost everyday
        C majorC    Cm7Cm7  G+G
Running through woods at dawn
       C majorC    Cm7Cm7   G+G
finding the magic in things

       C majorC   Cm7Cm7  G+G
You'd help me up the tree
      C majorC     Cm7Cm7     G+G
holding me up to the top of the branches
     C majorC    Cm7Cm7   G+G
Open your book to read
        C majorC      Cm7Cm7     E MajorE
the story that felt like we were already in

   C majorC     G+G         D MajorD
Where you're the king of the apple trees
E MajorE   C majorC      G+G         D MajorD
  In the orchard where I'd come to eat

G+G          C majorC     Cm7Cm7   G+G
Where we'd pull the wings off bees
      C majorC     Cm7Cm7     G+G
To build a bed in the top of the barn
        C majorC     Cm7Cm7   G+G
Humming through grass we'd sing
      C majorC       Cm7Cm7     E MajorE
out in the fields with the wind in our ears

   C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
Where nights are long and in the day
E MajorE     C majorC
  you'd paint and I'd write about outer space
E MajorE    C majorC    G+G      D MajorD
  Where I'm the queen of the creek
E MajorE    C majorC     G+G        D MajorD
  and the banks where you come to drink

G+G         C majorC     Cm7Cm7   G+G
Swimming through birch and bark
       C majorC     Cm7Cm7    G+G
tell you my secrets of how I can fly
          C majorC   Cm7Cm7    G+G
And I'll show you how tonight
    C majorC       Cm7Cm7     E MajorE
over bread and some white wine on ice
     C majorC   G+G         D MajorD
And I'll draw a bath and we'll cram in
E MajorE       C majorC      G+G      D MajorD
  And we'll write this story as we begin

And on the bus we're still living
E MajorE      C majorC      G+G         D MajorD
  in the pages of our book that we have written
E MajorE     C majorC    G+G          D MajorD
  And as if the wheels have turned to wings
E MajorE       C majorC      G+G            D MajorD
