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