Burgh Island chords by Ben Howard

♫ Verse 1:
   Am                  G
With brown eyes shining, a sure light on a way to go
    Am                     G
And the sun chides you're reeling home, against your glow
    Am                   G
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
    Am                   G
And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones


♫ Chorus:
    Am            C      G
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
        Am            C
That you're the best woman I have ever known

Am  G (x4)


♫ Verse 2:
   Am                  G
With brown eyes shining, a sure line on a way to go
    Am         G
And the sun chides you so long
    Am                   G
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
    Am                     G
And the world break for it, on Burgh Island in sepia tones


♫ Chorus:
    Am            C      G
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
        Am            C
That you're the best woman I have ever known

Am  G (x4)
Am7  G  C (x4)


♫ Outro:
   Am7 G C             Am7 G  C
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
    Am7  G C     Am7       G
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
       C
The wind blew in
