BREATHE – Laura Marling
Sumitter: donny
Tuning: Open C (CGCGGe)
This is the very end of her I was an Eagle medley.
I tabbed this from quentinames 133’s video lesson because I wanted it tabbed and I know others did too.
I’m not going to tab every strum, y’all can figure that out on your own.

I came here to tell you something you already know
The dark before the dawn is the darkest I can go
The calm before the storm is what leaves me here to breathe

So Breathe . . . . Bre. . . . . . . . . .athe
Verse II (repeat everything previously played)
Us of constant banging
Throwing fists against the wall
Screaming at the earth for what
It’s done to one and all
I came here to tell you something you already know
Just breathe
Breathe

How cruel I am to you
Mm, cruel things I do
How cruel you are to me
How cruel time can be
Verse III
I wrote you a book
But I left it out in the rain
Left it there to dry
But it got rained on once again
Us of constant banging
Throwing fists agains the wall
Breathe
Bre. . . . . . .athe
Bridge I again
How cruel you are to me
How cruel time can be
How cruel I was to you
How cruel things I do

When you wake you’ll know I’m gone
And where I’m going there's no one
Bridge I:
So don’t follow me
Whatever you may hear or see
Don’t follow me
Whatever you may hear or see
