Chords for Richard Buckner - Song of 27

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Though I may be miles [F] away, _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ with years that pass [G] _ without a [C] word, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I've never seen a [F] moon so [Am] high. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ Her name hangs down [G] from the _ earth, and [C] I, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
with your [F] little hand away, [Am] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ I've seen such
[G] needy days [C] before. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But on nights like this my [F] hope returns, [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ though I may be [G] miles away from her.
_ [C] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ A locket just for [C] good luck, and a pocket knife for long nights, and a sleepy little [G] dreamer.
_ _ You're still miles [C] to go. _ _ _ _
Twenty-seven, take me [Am] home. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ Pour that last [G] year down.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Days'll fade, [F] _ _ _ and the nights'll [E] burn, _ [C] _ _ though I may be miles [G] away from her.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ I see her in the doorway, staring a hole through [C] it all.
The first of many fits, [G] and the last one would.
_ _ _ _ Yeah, _ _ the last one would.
[C] _ _
_ _ Check your lock and close your eyes, [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
and when you wake up [G] I'll be alright.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Never tell them where, _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
and keep that bullet [G] safe and sound. _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The wind is wept, and the [F] sky is _
[E] slurred.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
We slept through [G] the _ _ _ [F]
sunrise, [C] dude.
_ _ _ _ I'm dreaming still _ of _ who [F] we [C] were, _ _ though I may be _ [G] miles [Bm] away _
[F] _ from _ _ her. _
