Gallows Chords by Shelby Merry

[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] It's been a year out in the desert, it's been a year [Dm] out in the sea.
I [Eb] spent my nights under the stars, [C] just dreaming asleep.
[Gm] I still question where I've been.
I don't know where [Dm] I will go.
I [Eb] just look up to the skies [C] like there's a sign of death.
I look up to the sea, [Gm] I didn't [Dm] know.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _
Like there's a sign of [Gm] death in [Dm] all.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ Lord, can you bring [Gm] me back home?
I know I've lived a wicked life.
I will never [Dm] change my ways.
[Eb] An unapologetic [C] runaway.
Until it's my last [Gm] day.
Why is it so easy to light a match and [Dm] watch?
[Eb] We were made to try to timber.
We were [C] made to turn to [Gm] dust.
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] Ooh, [Gm] take me home.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ Ooh, _ [Dm] like the [Gm] cows whose mercy I had [Eb] found. _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ So I went back to my home and I burned it to [Dm] the ground.
[Eb] An angel stopped the sight of me.
We both [C] watched it all fall down.
[Gm] I'm the owner of a lover, I'm a [Bb] lover.
So [Eb] if you're here to take me back,
there [C] ain't nothing left to [Gm] save.
_ Ooh, _ _ [Dm] _ [C] burn it all [Eb] down.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
_ Ooh, _ [Dm] like the cows [Gm] whose mercy I had [Eb] found.
_ _ _ [Gm] _
_ Ooh, _ _ [Dm] _ [C] take me _ [Eb] home.
Down.
_ [Gm] _
Ooh, _ _ [F] like the cows [C] whose mercy I had [Eb] found.
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Made it to the edge, there was nothing [Dm] left to see.
[Eb] A lit one-light [Ab] cigarette, [C] the angel stopped the sight of me. _
_ I [Bb] said, I know you've got your [Gm] job.
He said, the [Dm] grace that I have brung
is that [Gm] your death is gonna save you
from the [C] things you're running _ from.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ Ooh, _
_ [Bb] take [Gm] me home [C] now.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ Ooh, [Dm] like the cows [Eb] whose mercy I had [C] found.
