(Intro)

C        G/C       Am         Em     C
Older brother, restless soul, lie down.
C         G/C          Am     Em      C
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth.
C       G/C       Am     Em    C
You can hear your sister sleep talking,
                    G/C       Am      Em         C
Say 'you're hair is long but not long enough to reach

Refrão:
 C              G                 C                    G
    Home to me,    But your beard,   Someday might be.

                   Em7          Cadd9         G
And she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
          Em7             Cadd9               G
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
    Em7             Cadd9                   G               Em7
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
Cadd9         G
She'll lay it aside

(Riff 1 - 2x)

C       G/C      Am      Em      C
  Older father, weary soul, you'll drive
             G/C      Am       Em   C
Back to the home you made on the mountainside
         G/C   Am    Em    C
With that ugly, terrible thing
             G/C   Am
Those papers for divorce
      Em      C
And a lonely ring,

Refrão 2:
                G
  A lonely ring
                  C
Sit on your porch
                       G
And pluck your strings

Bridge 2
               Em7     Cadd9         G
Oh, and you'll find somebody you can blame
           Em7                  Cadd9             G
And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
Em7            Cadd9                G
    And you'll find the peace of the Lord.

(Riff 1 - 2x)

C       G/C     Am     Em      C
  Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly
       G/C       Am    Em       C
Over your life once more before you die
           G/C     Am         Em
 Since our grandma passed away
 C     G/C        Am      Em      C
You've waited for forever and a day

Refrão 3:
             G
Just to die,
                  C
And someday soon
             G
You will die

Em7             Cadd9          G
It was the only woman you ever loved
         Em7               Cadd9                G
That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
        Em7                          Cadd9             G
And the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
Em7                 Cadd9                G
And there's nothing you can do about it now

( C  G/C  Am  Em  C ) (4x)

( G  C  G ) (2x)
