Intro:

D   A   G
D   A   G


Verse:
    D                A
It always seemed so large
     G               D
When we were little kids
 G              D
Out behind the house
            Em7             A
And secret places where we hid

        D              A
With a rooster on the top
      G          D
That never ever crowed
      G                 D
Just spins 'round and 'round
     Em7                     A
Each time the wind would blow


Verse:
       D                A
Those teenage years of summer
      G               D
Where I lit my first smoke
       G                D
For a moment turned blue
          Em             A
And as I coughed and I choked

             D           A
And stole a kiss in the loft
          G                    D
From the girl that lived next door
         G               D
Where I came to hide my tears
           Em7               A
Where she didn't love me no more


Chorus:
        D              A
Oh the barn more than tin
           G                    D
More than boards and cracks within
          Em           D/F#
Held our hopes and our fears
         G                  A
And the hay we bailed last year

           D              A
More than just a soulful place
          G                 D
Or empty halls filled with space
         Em              D/F#
Was the shelter from the storm
         G                A
And the heartbeat of the farm

     D   A   G
The barn


Instrumental:
D   A   G


Verse:
    D                  A
Mornings could find a stare
      G                 D
With each new chore at hand
        G                    D
That's where our days would start out
 Em                  A
Where they'd always end

    D                  A
Although the work was hard
        G              D
And at times we'd complain
 G               D
Kept us close together
    Em             A
Somehow along the way


Chorus:
        D              A
Oh the barn more than tin
           G                    D
More than boards and cracks within
          Em           D/F#
Held our hopes and our fears
         G                  A
And the hay we bailed last year

           D              A
More than just a soulful place
          G                 D
Or empty halls filled with space
         Em              D/F#
Was the shelter from the storm
         G                A
And the heartbeat of the farm

     D   A   Bm
The barn


Break:
             A          G              D
And to this day when I wanna clear my mind
 G          D
Slip off behind the house
    Em        A
And I go back in time


Chorus:
        D              A
To the barn more than tin
           G                    D
More than boards and cracks within
          Em           D/F#
Held our hopes and our fears
         G                  A
And the hay we bailed last year

           D              A
More than just a soulful place
          G                 D
Or empty halls filled with space
       Em              D/F#
Was a shelter from the storm
         G                A
And the heartbeat of the farm

     D   A   G
The barn
