Older brother, restless soul, lie down.

Say ‘you’re hair is long but not long enough to reach

		   G
And she’ll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
          G
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
    Em7
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
G
She’ll lay it aside

(Main Riff x2)

Verse 2: (Same picking as riff)
C
  Older father, weary soul, you’ll drive
             C
Back to the home you made on the mountainside
         C
With that ugly, terrible thing
             Am
Those papers for divorce
      C
And a lonely ring,


Chorus 2: (Same picking as chorus)
                G
  A lonely ring
                  C
Sit on your porch
                       G
And pluck your strings

Bridge 2: (Can pick bridge riff or strum chords)
               G
Oh, and you’ll find somebody you can blame
           G
And you’ll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
G
    And you’ll find the peace of the Lord.

(Main Riff x2)

Verse 3: (Main riff)
C
  Grandfather, weary soul, you’ll fly
       C
Over your life once more before you die
           Em
 Since our grandma passed away
 C
You’ve waited for forever and a day

Chorus 3: (Strum)
             G
Just to die,
                  C
And someday soon
             G
You will die

Bridge3: (Strum bass note then rest of chord)
G
It was the only woman you ever loved
         G
That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
        G
And the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
Em7                 Cadd9                G-------
And there’s nothing you can do about it now
