Half Acre chords by Hem

Chords with lyrics

SONG: Half Acre
BAND: Hem
ALBUM: Rabbit Songs - 2005 (Track 3)
-------------------------------
Standard Tuning

When I listen to closely to the only other version of this tab I could find, it sounds
but not spot-on in some major spots. I think these chords work better. And I'm not sure
the DmDm chord is ever even used.

An effortlessly perfect song. The kind you can even enjoy with your mum.


C majorC
I am holding half an acre
C majorC
Torn fromthemap of Michigan
  C majorC
And folded in this scrap of paper
    C majorC
Is the land I grew in

C majorC
Think of every town you've lived in
C majorC
Every room you lay your head
  C majorC
And what is it that you remember

    A minorAm
Do you carry every sadness with you
A minorAm
Every hour your heart was broken
A minorAm
Every night the fear and darkness
FF
Lay down with you

 C majorC
A augmentedA man is walking on the highway
  C majorC
A augmentedA woman stares out at the sea
  C majorC
And light is only now just breaking

    A minorAm
So we carry every sadness with us
A minorAm
Every hour our hearts were broken
A minorAm
Every night the fear and darkness
FF
Lay down with us

  C majorC
But I am holding half an acre
C majorC
Torn fromthemap of Michigan
  C majorC
And folded in this scrap of paper


      A minorAm
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
A minorAm
Every burden taken from me
A minorAm
Every night my heart unfolding
