Down The Burning Ropes Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Am

AmWhen the hills let go

Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover

 On a ship filled with Gghosts

 It's something to beAmhold

AmWhen the paper thin girls

With twisting little braids in their hair,

 They take off their coats and tGhrow

Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat,

 Crying out F

 The stones tGhey float, the stones tAmhey float

 Oh my God,F the stones tGhey float, the stones they Amfloat

AmDown the burning ropes

Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies

 You make your bed under the Gmoonlight

 I think it's time we said gAmoodbye

AmCause nothing moves in the warm air

And words that once would cut like a knife,

 They just hang in the cloud and yGou're

Pushed by the lord,

 But you're pulled by the crowds aFnd

 You're overGboard, you're overAmboard

 Oh my God,F she's overGboard, she's overAmboard

AmMy love she's overbGoard F

 She's overboardAm G F

 My love she's over board Am G F

Some uuuhs and aaaaahs with Am G F

AmNot a shell unbroken

In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay

 It's not the time to be hGanging around here

 You know what some miAmght say

AmThat people get too reckless

That even with the simplest of crimes

They leave, blood behind,

 As I Gclean the knife for the very last time F

 I thinkG she knows, I thinkAm she knows

 Oh my God,F I thinkG she knows, I think Amshe knows

I think she know

Uuuuhs and aAaahhs with Am G F
