Hello there, sorry if there's a couple of mistakes in the lyrics, but the chords are all good.
The chords with a dash (F' G') are the places I play it as a bar chord because I think
it sounds better, but it doesn't really matter and its up to you. Enjoy.
Capo 1
Standard Tuning
You've made your decision now get up and leave
F' G' C
The familiar sting of the woodcutters swing to the tree
I’ll fall in the forest to elbows and knees.
F' G' C
And it won't make a sound since there's no one around here to see
F' C
I was prepared to love you
F'
And never expect anything of you
If a spirit has left you baby don't lie to yourself
F' G' C
Put them old records on and admit that it's gone somewhere else
Just because we're beasts of blame by nature doesn't mean that you should carry it again
F' G' C
It's a question of need to know rosary beads in the air
F' C
I was prepared to love you
F' C
And never expect anything of you
F'
But there's no patron saint of sullen restraint
There ain't no sword in our lake
Just a funeral wake
You were the coldest star in the sky
Only I couldn't see it I was blind
In come the black night calling your name since you were born
F' G' C
Only I couldn't hear it I was empty as a drum
F' C
I was prepared to love you
F' C
And never expect anything of you
F'
But there no patron saint or sudden restraint
There ain't no sword in our lake
There ain't no sword in our lake
There ain't no sword in our lake
Just a funeral wake.
