Cavalry chords by Mandolin Orange

Chords with lyrics

capo 2nd fret

I've seen them live and watched a video to confirm that this is how Emily plays it. Capo 2, starts in C majorC
(relative to the capo) which makes it easier to "walk" down from C majorC to BB to A augmentedA etc. Also they love the sound
of Fmaj7Fmaj7 which is in a lot of their songs. Enjoy!

Verse:

      C majorC     C/BC/B     Am7Am7     C/GC/G    FF
Well I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
  DmDm         DmDm                G+G
The fire in the sky, a dim light in my eye that's long faded
    C majorC     C/BC/B     Am7Am7      C/GC/G       FF
And I stood where heroes have fallen, their names turned to stone
  DmDm           DmDm           G+G
Yet I remain nameless, the best friend a hero has known

     C majorC   C/BC/B    Am7Am7   C/GC/G    FF
From the age of kings, when pride decided all fate
    DmDm           DmDm         G+G
Long before war machines took charge and I was to wait
      C majorC       C/BC/B     Am7Am7     C/GC/G   FF
If you flying hope and blinders and young men to carry obtain
     DmDm      DmDm                G+G
All the death and the glory, believing their one in the same

Chorus:

      A minorAm    C majorC      Fmaj7Fmaj7
  Now I'm saving my strength for running
      C majorC    C/BC/B    Am7Am7   C/GC/G   FF
  These days I'm saving my strength   for running


Verse 3:

      C majorC     C/BC/B     Am7Am7     C/GC/G    FF
Yes I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
   DmDm          DmDm            G+G
The sword and the shield, pursed upon saddles and reigns
      C majorC      C/BC/B     Am7Am7    C/GC/G      FF
But the stampedes of thunder, the Calvary’s charge leads me now
     DmDm           DmDm          G+G
And your last war will come, but I cannot follow you down


Chorus:

      A minorAm    C majorC      Fmaj7Fmaj7
  No I'm saving my strength for running
      C majorC    C/BC/B    Am7Am7   C/GC/G   FF
  These days I'm saving my strength   for running
       C majorC    C/BC/B    Am7Am7  C/GC/G   FF
I said these days I'm saving my strength  for running
