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