Chords with lyrics
Capo 1st Fret
C majorC D MajorD
found your name across the chapel door
G+G C majorC
carved in cursive with a table fork
G+G
muddy hymnals
C majorC D MajorD
and some bootmarks where you'd been
C majorC D MajorD
the shaking preacher told the captain's man
G+G C majorC
the righteous suffer in a fallen land
G+G
and pulled the shade
D MajorD G+G
to keep the crowd from peeking in
C majorC D MajorD
we found your children by the tavern door
G+G C majorC
with wooden buttons and an apple core
G+G
playing house
C majorC D MajorD
and telling everyone you'd drowned
C majorC D MajorD
the begging choir told the captain's man
G+G C majorC
we all assume the worst the best we can
G+G
and for a round or two
D MajorD G+G
they'd gladly track you down
C majorC D MajorD
we found you sleeping by your lover's stone
G+G C majorC
a ream of paper and a telephone
G+G
a broken bow
C majorC D MajorD
across a long lost violin
C majorC D MajorD
your lover's angel told the captain's man
G+G C majorC
it never ends the way we had it planned
G+G
and kissed her palm
D MajorD G+G
and placed it on your dreaming head
