On Your Wings chords by Iron & Wine

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

This G minorGm is a kind of drone over most of the song, there are two guitar parts being played
simultaneously which I've tabbed out, but you can also just play a G minorGm and sing. Ideally you would play
both parts simultaneously with a friend or by looping, but if you can't I would reccomend the third tabbed
pattern.

Chorus:
G minorGm                    G minorGm
God, there is gold hidden deep in the the ground
G minorGm                    G minorGm
God, there's a hangman that wants to come 'round

How we rise when we're born
G minorGm
Like the ravens in the corn

On their wings, on our knees
G minorGm
Crawling careless from the sea

G minorGm                   G minorGm
God, there are guns growing out of our bones
G minorGm                  G minorGm
God, every road takes us farther from home

Verse 2:
G minorGm
All these men that you made
G minorGm
How we wither in the shade
G minorGm
Of your trees, on your wings
G minorGm
We are carried to the sea

C7C7 C7C7 Bb5Bb5 G minorGm G minorGm

There is a long insturmental Outro that doesn't really work for solo guitar, so I would stop
where the lyrics end.
