The Tallest Man on Earth - Where I Thought I Met The Angels

      Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
C    

[Verse]             
Em                F
    Never once an ocean
C         Em             F
    Could hold me on its shore
Em                             F
    Standing calm with all its motion
C                Em              F
    With all the movement of its flow
Em                               F
    Cause I know way back in the distance
C           Em            F
    All the safer sorrows burned
Em                             F
    The ones with no intent to drown you
C                  Em             F
    The ones where nothing's to be learned

[Chorus]
Em                            F
    So now I'm headin' down a back road
C                Em            F
    The one that no one really takes
Em                         F
    'cept for me now to be nowhere
C             F             C
    When that early morning breaks

[Verse]
C
Em                           F
    Now I'm dancin' with the mad girls
C                Em             F
    The ones who sin out by the town
Em                              F
    Who were brought up by bell towers
C              Em              F
    And always nurtured by its sound
Em                                 F
    I heard them sing out in their language
C           Em               F
    Already when I was still free
Em                               F
    Oh God I thought I heard the angels
C                Em                F
    What kind of fool'd you put in me?
C

[Chorus]
Em                                 F
    'Cause now I'm tied by up by a back road, y'know
C                Em            F
    The one that no one really takes
Em                         F
    'cept for me now to be nowhere
C             F             C
    When that early morning breaks

[Instrumental]
C Em F C Em C F C

[Verse]
Em                                    F
    They sure won't let me leave this summer
      C
No no no
               Em             F
And they won't let me go this fall
Em                             F
    And with the likelihood of winter
C                    Em             F
    They'll take the heat out of us all
Em                            F
    Just to deliver all their daughters
C                 Em              F
    To track down sons of serpent roads
Em                           F
    And let me look out over slaughter
C             Em                 F
    To have a night out with the boys
C

[Chorus]
Em                             F
    And now I'm takin' off the back road, y'know
C                Em            F
    The one that no one really takes
Em                         F
    'cept for me now to be nowhere
C             F             C
    When that early morning breaks
