Caught In The Briars chords by Iron & Wine

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

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

[Chorus]
            Cm
Where all of the naked boys
         Bm
Lay down beside her
            Am
Sing her the saddest song
           G
All caught in the briars

C (C's are flourished by playing open and one on the B String)
G (G's are flourished by hammering open and two on the A and D strings)
C
G

[Verse 3]
         Cm
I never meant to fall
          Bm
So hard in the doorway
           Am
And all the sinners here
           D
Have crosses for Sunday

[Verse 4]
            Cm
Kissed at the county fair
        Bm
Frisked in the city
               Am
Which proves as an answered prayer
        G
But ain't it a pity

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

C
G (flourish then move into strumming)


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

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

         Cm      Bm
All of her naked boys
         Am      G
And not even I was true
