Freedom Hangs Like Heaven Tab by Iron & Wine

Freedom Hangs Like Heaven tab by Iron & Wine

Guitar Tab

Song: Freedom Hangs Like Heaven
Artist: Iron and Wine/Sam Beam
Album: Woman King EP

I couldn't find a tab for this song online so I decided to figure it
out on my own.  Here is what I came up with:

Standard tuning, capo on 1st fret

   Mary                        carry  your  babe            bound up
tight like         lips around a whimper your
   fingers                     over my face                 blind
eyed Sampson          driven to the temple and
   night birds                 digging till dawn            freedom
hangs like          heaven over everyone

   Ain't nobody knows          what a newborn holds but     his mama
says he'll walk on water and wander back home

Mary, carry your babe bound up tight like lips around a whimper
Your fingers over my face, blind eyed Sampson driven to the temple
And night birds digging until dawn, freedom hangs like heaven over
everyone
Ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds
But his mama says he'll walk on water and wander back home

Mary, carry your shame well past all those eyes across the avenue
Fish heads running from rain you know I'll do anything you want me to
Lamp oil lovers may say "Freedom hangs like heaven over everyone"
Ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds
But his papa's going to hide shaking gristle and shaking like bone

Mary, carry my name, hoof marks hacked up all i had to offer you
Looked all over this place, lost your portrait lately when the winter
blew
In like herod and them, freedom hangs like heaven over everyone
Anybody knows what the newborn holds
But a dollar says he'll lick that devil and do it alone


These guitar parts repeat continuously throughout the song.
Fingerpicking is pretty much mandatory on this one.  There are also
two other guitar parts (one is a slide and the other sounds like a
clean electric) and a very nice banjo solo but you are on your own
for those.
