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 ‘you’re hair is long but not long enough to reach

Chorus

  Home to me, But your beard, Someday might be.

Bridge

 And she’ll 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

She’ll lay it aside

(Main Riff x2)

Verse 2

Older father, weary soul, you’ll 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 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.

(Main Riff x2)

Verse 3

(Main riff)

Grandfather, weary soul, you’ll fly

 Over your life once more before you die

  Since our grandma passed away

 You’ve 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 there’s nothing you can do about it now
