The Clarks
Feather and Bones

Another beautiful song from The Clarks Feather and Bones album. Enjoy!


Verse 1

FF
She came from this place

Such a pretty face
            Bb majorBb
And she danced to the radio
FF
She could sing a song

The boys came along
                Bb majorBb
She didn't know how to just say no
G minorGm         C majorC         G minorGm
There's gonna be a tall, dark man to wed
          C majorC         Bb majorBb
There's gonna be a cold, hard truth instead

Chorus 1

       FF        C majorC
She's waving goodbye to seventeen
Bb majorBb   FF      C majorC
From a long, white limousine
A minorAm                 Bb majorBb
Some dreams are in the air some are seen
FF
Irene


Verse 2

FF
Well she owned this town

But couldn't settle down
               Bb majorBb
They played her songs on the radio
FF
But she partied late

And she made them wait
           Bb majorBb
It's all there on the video
G minorGm        C majorC       G minorGm
There's gonna be a long bus ride ahead
           C majorC       Bb majorBb
There's gonna be some cold hotel in bed

Chorus 2

       FF        C majorC
She's waving goodbye to twenty-three
Bb majorBb    FF      C majorC
From deep inside the machine
A minorAm                 Bb majorBb
Some hands are in the dirt some are clean
FF
Irene

Verse 3

FF
Well she fell so hard

And her kids looked on
              Bb majorBb
She passed on to the other side
FF
It went downhill fast

You know nothing lasts
                 Bb majorBb
I heard her song on a late night drive
G minorGm        C majorC         G minorGm
Shoulda been some bright, blue skies ahead
           C majorC         Bb majorBb
There's gonna be some cold, hard ground instead


Chorus 3

       FF        C majorC
She's waving goodbye to thirty-three
Bb majorBb    FF     C majorC
From a long, black limousine
A minorAm                Bb majorBb
Life's just as kind to you as it is mean
FF
