Salinas chords by Laura Marling

Key: Bb

Verse :
Bb             Bb/Ab
I am from Salinas where the women go forever
     Bb/G           Bb/F
And they never ever to stop to ask why
  Bb           Bb/Ab
My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour
   Bb/G                Bb
With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh



Bb
Oh my mother Oh my friends
Bb           Bb/Ab   Gbmaj7  Bb
Ask the angels "Will I ever see heaven again "

Verse 2:

Bb                Bb/Ab
Late into the evening, they would take each other screaming
    Bb/G           Bb
Looking darkly to the back of her eye
  Bb                  Bb/Ab
The careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing
     Bb/G            Bb/F
That they musn't ever look up to the sky
Bb
There are no answers there are found
Bb         Bb/Ab Gbmaj7 Bb
Ask the angels, "Am I heaven-bound "


Bridge:

Bb Bb/Ab  Bb/G  Bb/F Bb
Mmmm put it down to me
Bb/Ab    Bb/G  Bb/F
I, who speak awkwardly
  Bb       Bb/Ab      Bb/G  Bb/F
Any word, if it is heard, is not intended to be
    Bb      Bb/Ab    Bb/G       Bb/F
Not for them, not for her not for him, and not for me
F           Eb
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand


Interlude:

Bb


Bridge 2:

Bb Bb/Ab  Bb/G     Bb/F Bb
Mmmm when the clouds roll in
Bb Bb/Ab    Bb/G  Bb/F Bb
we start paying for our sins
    Bb    Bb/Ab    Bb/G   Bb/F Bb
With a gun in my hand and my sun at my shoulder
 Bb      Bb/Ab      Bb/G   Bb/F Bb
Believe I will run before that boy gets older
F           Eb                    Bb
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
F           Eb                    Bb
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
