Intro
Eb Gm A# A# - Eb Eb A# F
(on the third Eb you can slide up to F and then back to Ebmaj7)
[Verse 1]
Eb Gm
Like faithful oxen through the chalk,
A# Gm
With dragging tails of history walk.
Eb Gm A# A#
Soon confuse the compass and the cross.
Eb Gm A# A# Eb Eb A# F
Carefully and cursively we fill our traveling diaries with loss.
[Verse 2]
Eb Gm
Beneath an angry Bible flood,
A# Gm
Did you and I first learn to love.
Eb Gm A# A#
In my father's car we came to know.
Eb Gm A# A# Eb Eb A# F
And shivered in our painted clothes and paired like every animal below.
[Chorus]
Gm
As heavy as a history book can be,
A# Eb A# Dm
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
Gm
And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
A# Eb A# Dm
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.
[Verse 3]
Eb Gm
Barefoot in a rowing boat
A# Gm
You loose your shoes and freeze your toes
Eb Gm A# A#
And say I wear my sorrow like a crown
Eb Gm A# A#
And throw your arms around my head, and see it there in gold and brown and
Eb Eb A# F
red
[Chorus]
Gm
As heavy as a history book can be,
A# Eb A# Dm
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
Gm
And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
A# Eb A# Dm
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.
[Bridge]
Ab Eb A#
We'll soon forget our parents' names,
Ab Eb A#
Like dogs will drive the wolves away.
Ab Eb
And weep with fingertips opposed,
A# Ab A# Ab
Like a church where nobody congregates.
[Middle 8/Outro Verse]
Cm Eb A# Ab
But sweetness sings in the pasture,
Cm Eb A# Ab
We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth.
Cm Eb A# Ab
If sand and salt have the answer,
Cm Eb A# Ab
Then the act itself will be louder than the word.
Cm Eb A# Ab
And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
Cm Eb A# Ab
Cm Eb A# Ab
And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
Cm Eb A# Ab
