Golden Embers
by Mandolin Orange

Intro:
|Am        |Em        |F         |C    C/B  |
|Am        |Em        |F         |F         |
|Am        |Em        |F         |C    C/B  |
|Am        |Em        |G    G6   |G7        |

Verse 1:
Am                Em          F            C    C/B
Just like an old friend, but kinder than expected
Am            Em                     F
That Cadillac came and gave our girl the ride
Am         Em       F                C    C/B
Loss has no end, it binds to our connection
Am           Em          G
But we don’t speak of it, we don’t even try

Chorus:
F                   G
If you could help me to share the trouble
C                             F
That you’ve got burnin in you, then you can help me
       C                     G
And in our time together her memory will ever
F
Shine like golden embers in the night

Solo:
|Am        |Em        |F         |C    C/B  |
|Am        |Em        |F         |F         |

Verse 2:
Am          Em       F           C        C/B
I miss the old hymns, when she used to sing
Am            Em                    F
The sparrows spread their mortal wings
Am                 Em        F              C        C/B
But now they’ve all alighted, with the silence of strings
Am           Em         G
Like notes on the pages, she breathed life into all things

Chorus:
F                   G
If you could help me to share the trouble
C                             F
That you’ve got burnin in you, then you can help me
       C                     G
And in our time together her memory will ever
F
Shine like golden embers in the night

Bridge: (half-time feel)
|Em        |C        |Em         |C         |

|Em        |C        |Em         |C         |
|Em        |C        |Em         |C         |

Em               C      Em        C
Just like an old friend, reach out to me
Em             C         Em        C
And bathe me in the light of understanding

Chorus:
F                 G
And try to help me to share the trouble
C                             F
That you’ve got burnin in you, then you can help me
       C                     G
And in our time together her memory will ever
F
Shine like golden embers in the night
