Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
(Main Riff x2)
Verse 1
Older brother, restless soul, lie down.
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth.
You can hear your sister sleep talking,
Say youre hair is long but not long enough to reach
Chorus
Home to me, But your beard, Someday might be.
Bridge
And shell wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
Shell lay it aside
(Main Riff x2)
Verse 2
Older father, weary soul, youll drive
Back to the home you made on the mountainside
With that ugly, terrible thing
Those papers for divorce
And a lonely ring,
Chorus 2
A lonely ring
Sit on your porch
And pluck your strings
Bridge 2
Oh, and youll find somebody you can blame
And youll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
And youll find the peace of the Lord.
(Main Riff x2)
Verse 3
(Main riff)
Grandfather, weary soul, youll fly
Over your life once more before you die
Since our grandma passed away
Youve waited for forever and a day
Chorus 3
(Strum)
Just to die,
And someday soon
You will die
Bridge3
(Strum bass note then rest of chord)
It was the only woman you ever loved
That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
And theres nothing you can do about it now
