Caught In The Briars chords by Iron & Wine

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
          C majorC
The back alley's full of rain
          G+G
And everything's shining
          C majorC
As holy as she can be
           G+G
The trick?s in the timing

[Verse 2]
          C majorC
Free as a morning bird
        G+G
Fragile as china
               C majorC
She?s stuck in the weakest heart
        G+G
Of South Carolina

[Chorus]
            C minorCm
Where all of the naked boys
         B minorBm
Lay down beside her
            A minorAm
Sing her the saddest song
           G+G
All caught in the briars

C majorC (C's are flourished by playing open and one on the BB String)
G+G (G's are flourished by hammering open and two on the A augmentedA and D MajorD strings)
C majorC
G+G

[Verse 3]
         C minorCm
I never meant to fall
          B minorBm
So hard in the doorway
           A minorAm
And all the sinners here
           D MajorD
Have crosses for Sunday

[Verse 4]
            C minorCm
Kissed at the county fair
        B minorBm
Frisked in the city
               A minorAm
Which proves as an answered prayer
        G+G
But ain?t it a pity

[Chorus]
            C majorC
Where all of the naked boys
         G+G
Lay down beside her
            C majorC
Sing her the saddest song
           G+G
All caught in the briars

C majorC
G+G (flourish then move into strumming)

[Sundown]
              C majorC
There go the cops with the tomcat teeth
                   G+G
Here come the church mice trying too hard
           C majorC
She had a way to be kind with words
                 G+G
I had a knife in the back of my car

            C majorC
Nobody knows when the rain may come
               G+G
Nobody wants wake up and be cruel
              C majorC
She locked the door and the sun went down
                  G+G
In South Carolina with nothing to lose

         C minorCm      B minorBm
All of her naked boys
         A minorAm      G+G
And not even I was true
