Some Slender Rest
guitar tabs lyrics
basic chords
Capo: 2nd fret
C G F
And I�m a go make my bed
C
Tuck in the other side
G F
These confessions are mine
C
But I�ll not claim a word
C
This restless parade
F
Yes I watched it go by
C
Through the cracks in my palm
G
Seen them all gone
C
Some sequence of lives
C
Well she calls out alone
F
With the pain in her voice
C
It�s the wound of betrayal
G
It�s the weapon of choice
C
Left her heart on display
F
Though that she�ll deny
C
Two tattoos of skin
G
One of ice one of tin
C C7
For the days have gone by
Am F C
But I ain�t one to reminisce
Am F C G
But close my heart and clench my fists
C
Now the days swiftly pass
F
With the chest full of fear
C
Here the minutes are hours
G
But the moments are years
C
And old acquaintances passed
F
In trios, in pairs
C
And if they stay or they go
G
One struggles to know
C C7
One struggles to care
Am F C
But out beyond the Ten Tree walls
Am F C
The wind blows hard the highway crawls
Am F C G
And if you should pass the James Hotel
Am C G F
Please stop in for I knew you well
Am F C
But that was oh so long ago
Am F C G
And I never learned how to let go
C
But when you fear your own faults
F
And you�re sick of this life
C
When you�re reckless of hand
G
And trembling the knife
C
And all your doors prefer locks
F
And your death prefers spoons
C G
Why wouldn�t you wait one last laugh at fate
C C7
Forever�s too soon
Am F C
But across the field death bell knells
Am F C
Listen close hear the toll tell
Am F C G
To run and tell my darling true
Am C
My breath is short
G F
My days are few
Am G
So please come down
F G
And take my hand
Am G
My last demand
Am F C
And lead me to some slender rest
Am F C G
And please dismiss what I confess
