Chords for Blood - The Middle East (cover)

[G] _ [F#] _ _ [D#m] _ [A#m] _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] Older [D#m] brother, [A#m] rest his [F#] soul, lie down
_ [C#] Lie for [D#m] a while with your [A#m] ear [F#] against the earth
And he [D#m] sits to [C#] sleep talking, [F#] saying,
There is [D#m] only not [A#m] long [F#] enough to reach _ home to [C#] me
But [F#] you'll be here someday, [C#] my baby _
And she woke [F#] up in a cold [C#] sweat on the floor
Next [A#m] to a family [F#] portrait drawn [C#] in new form
[A#m] And beside a [F#] jar of two-cent [C#] coins, it are no good
She _ _ [F#] _ [C#] laid aside _ _
[F#] Older [D#m] _ [A#m] _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [C#] [D#m] father, [A#m] weary [F#] soul, you'll dry _
Back to [D#m] the home [A#m] made on [F#] a _ mountainside
Without [D#m] this [A#m] terrible [F#] thing, those [C#] papers, [D#m] [A#m] portals, and a [F#] lonely reed
A lonely [C#] reed
[F#] Sit on your porch, [C#] reflect your dreams _
[A#m] Oh, and you'll [F#] find somebody [C#] you can blame _
[A#m] And you'll follow the [F#] creek that runs out into [C#] the sea
And [A#m] you'll find [F#] the peace [C#] of the Lord _ _
[F#] Oh, oh, [D#m] [A#m] oh, [F#] oh, oh, oh, oh
[C#] Oh, [D#m] oh, oh, [A#m] oh, [F#] oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, [D#m] oh, [A#m] oh, oh, [F#] oh
Oh, oh, [D#m] oh, [A#m] oh, oh, [F#] oh, oh _ _
_ [D#m] Grandfather, [A#m] weary [F#] soul, you'll fly _
Over [D#m] your lifeless [A#m] maw [F#] before you die
Since our grandma passed away, you've waited [D#m] for [A#m] forever [F#] and a day
_ [C#] Just to die, _ _
[F#] someday soon [C#] you will die
It [A#m] was the only [F#] woman you [C#] ever loved _
[A#m] That got burnt by the [F#] sun too often when she was [C#] young _
[A#m] And the cancer [F#] spread and it ran [C#] into her body and her blood
[A#m] And there's nothing [F#] you can do [C#] about it now _ _
[F#] [C#] Oh, [D#m] oh, [A#m] oh, [F#] oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, [D#m] oh, [A#m] oh, oh, oh, [F#] oh, oh
_ [C#] Oh, [D#m] oh, [A#m] oh, oh, [F#] oh, oh, oh _ _
_ Oh, [D#m] oh, [A#m] oh, [F#] oh, _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _ [A#m] [F#] oh
Oh, oh, _ _ _ _ [D#m] [A#m] oh, [F#] oh, oh.
