Golden And Green Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F♯ Close your eyes and you Bdraw one more day to a close

 You Achoose to be alone

 You Bfloat through your life as a F♯ghost

 And F♯everything heals given time

 And Beverything dies given time

 And the Ascars run together, Bmixing the nerves with the F♯blood

 And the Bsoldiers light houses on fire and they burn downF♯

 And aBll your belongings turn to dirt in the groundF♯

 When your Aheart's deep and dark as a well

 And Beverything that's golden and C♯green goes to F♯hell

 And I was F♯born to wind in the cradle

 And I Bride on the hot southern breeze

 and I Atwist in the green and the Bgold

 and you see and there is Ablood on my Belbows and F♯knees

 And F♯people want to grow old in the cradle

 When there's Bsnakes all around in the reeds

 And you Aask me to fear of no Bevil

 When your Afire's all Bover my F♯feet

 And the Bsoldiers light houses on fire and they burn downF♯

 And Ball your belongings turn to dirt in the groundF♯

 When your Aheart's deep and dark as a well

 And Beverything that's golden and C♯green goes to hell

 I said F♯bring out your Vivian girls

BBring out your cloud-covered girls

 and Abring me a cup of your Btears

 and Agive me the Brest of your F♯years

 Because F♯everything dies, given time

 And I Bknow that this world could be mine

 So I Aclosed both my eyes and I Bcount my heartbeats

 and I Aknow that my Bwings are on F♯fire

 And the Bsoldiers light houses on fire and they burn downF♯

 And Ball your belongings turn to dirt in the groundF♯

 When your Aheart's deep and dark as a well

 And Beverything that's golden and C♯green goes to hell

The higher pitched instrument throughout the song is a mandolin ... just hang around F#

your upper register to duplicate ... on the break in between vocal lines it's generally

to F# like the bass and rhythm guitar
