Blood
guitar chords lyrics
these are chords for piano.. :)
B C#m B/D# G#m/D#
older brother, restless soul, lie down
B C#m B/D# G#m
lie for a while with your ear against the earth
B C#m
and you'll hear your sister sleep talking
B/D# C#m G#m
say "your hair is long but not long enough to reach
B
home to me
G#m
but your beard
B
someday might be"
B/D# C#m B
and she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
B/D# C#m B
next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
B/D# C#m B B
and beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good any more
B
she'll lay it aside
B/D# B C#m G#m
B C#m B/D# G#m/D#
older father, weary soul, you'll drive
B C#m B/D# G#m/D#
back to the home you made on the mountainside
B C#m
with that ugly, terrible thing
B/D# C#m
those papers for divorce
G#m
and a lonely ring
B
a lonely ring
G#m
sit on your porch
B
and pluck your strings
B
and you'll find somebody you can blame
and you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
and you'll find the peace of the Lord.
B C#m B/D# G#m/B
grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly
B C#m B/D# G#m/B
over your life once more before you die
B C#m
since our grandma passed away
B/D# C#m G#m
you've waited for forever and a day
B
just to die
G#m
and someday soon
B
you will die
B/D# C#m B
it was the only woman you ever loved
B/D# C#m B
that got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
B/D# C#m B
and the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
B/D# C#m B
and there's nothing you can do about it now
