Artist: Iron & Wine Song: Winter Prayers Album: Ghost on Ghost Tabbed by: Blazn Blue I made this tab because the other ones on here have a few wrong chords as well as wrong lyrics. These lyrics are straight from the liner notes, and the chords have been taken from the KEXP performance. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxiCHPNqF3o) As usual with Sam Beam, he embellishes with hammer-ons and pull-offs. If you watch the live performance, you can get a good idea of these. [Verse 1] Am Dm Dsus2 Well its cold, and you're bored G E From counting the smart cars on 94 Am Dm Dsus2 When you dream you're back home G E But the lakeside don't trust you to walk alone Am Dm Dsus2 Hollow trees, talk offhand G E All the neckties are toasting with empty cans Am Dm Dsus2 And you know why she's gone G E Like the clothes in the river, drifting on [Chorus] Dm G Slide down south Am Cause once in a while your confidence leaves you Dm G Am E Like smoke falls out her red mouth [Break] Am Dm Dsus G E (play twice with ooh's and aah's) [Verse 2] Am Dm Dsus2 Well she left you the holes G E The tracks in the back yard, December snow Am Dm Dsus2 But those sad souvenirs G E They end at the fence line, and disappear Am Dm Dsus2 Why you'd follow her there? G E Milwaukee's a deaf ear for winter prayers Am Dm Dsus2 There's no night, there's no day G E With only hope in your pocket, and hell to pay [Chorus] Dm G Slide down south Am Cause once in a while your confidence leaves you Dm G Am E Like smoke falls out her red mouth [Outro] Am Dm Dsus2 G E
