On Your Wings chords by Iron & Wine

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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


Verse 1:
Gm
How we rise when we're born
Gm
Like the ravens in the corn
Gm
On their wings, on our knees
Gm
Crawling careless from the sea


Chorus:
Gm                                    Gm
God, give us love in the time that we have
Gm                                    Gm
God, give us love in the time that we have

Interlude:
C7   C7   Bb5   Gm    Gm

Chorus:
Gm                                     Gm
God, there are guns growing out of our bones
Gm                                    Gm
God, every road takes us farther from home


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


Chorus:
Gm                                    Gm
God, give us love in the time that we have
Gm                                    Gm
God, give us love in the time that we have

Instrumental Outro:

Gm   Gm

C7  C7  Bb5  Gm  Gm

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