------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Alex

Tuning: Standard, Capo II
G D Em C
There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
G D Em D
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
G D Em C
And she chose a yard to burn, but the ground remembers her
G D Em D
Wooden spoons, her children stir her bougainvillea blooms
G D Em C
There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
G D Em D
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
G D Em C
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
G D Em D
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/i/iron-and-wine/55948.html ]
G D Em C
There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
G D Em D
Springtime calls her children 'till she lets them go at last
G D Em C
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
G D Em D
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of bougainvillea seeds
G D Em C
There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
G D Em D
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
G D Em C
But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns
G D Em D
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
G D Em C
There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
G D Em D
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me
G D Em C
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
G D Em D
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone
Enjoy =)
