E minorEm G+G

verse 1
E minorEm             G+G
I found the binding of the yoke
    C majorC            G+G     F# minorF#m
That connects us here, in this herd of hope
E minorEm             B minorBm
Escort me to your kingdom come
    C majorC             E minorEm       C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
From the gallows' hold, and the things we've done

verse 2
E minorEm               B minorBm
You stole so much, so much at times
      C majorC        G+G     F# minorF#m
Just being bad, like the books we read
   E minorEm          B minorBm
The helplessness that you played upon
      G+G       E minorEm
Was just tenderness, to disarm

verse 3
   C majorC            D MajorD
She ushered in love, but it drove you mad
       C majorC         G+G
Not to have everything of your envisioning
    C majorC        G+G
She wandered in on the peace you lacked
         E minorEm             C majorC
Yeah and you're losing still, that life you could've had

Instrumental: E minorEm C majorC E minorEm

verse 4
E minorEm            G+G     B minorBm
Tell that story one more time for me
    C majorC              G+G
Of the baited fields just for the taking dear
E minorEm          B minorBm
Where you heard the hunter's call
       C majorC         G+G
But your discipline kept you from the fall
E minorEm             C majorC       G+G
But oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby hands

Verse 5
       D MajorD
I'd shoot anything
     C majorC           G+G
And you laughed at me, but you know I'm right
        E minorEm              C majorC  E minorEm B minorBm C majorC G+G
So why do you claim the strength to put up a fight
     C majorC           D MajorD
And you hold your nightmares close from view

Verse 6
         C majorC           G+G
The horses going wild, under a breaking moon
    C majorC            G+G
There's no way the bridle ever fits the bride
       E minorEm          C majorC     E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
Yeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here
