Band Of Horses - Slow Cruel Hands Of Time

Album: Mirage Rock, 2012

Note: This is a simplified version of the picking pattern

"[A]Biding My Time" getting stuck in my mind is a [Bm]boat to row. (?)
[A]Two hours later back in my neighbourhood, where [Bm]everything just stops.
It [A]still looks the same, they remember my name stepped it [Bm]in for a cup full.
There's a [A]big city man, I used to rumble with him back in [Bm]high school.

The [D]slow cruel [C#m]hands of [Bm]time
[D]Turn you into molten [C#m]lava, oh [Bm7]my

There's a [A]place on the right, you can stop for a while, look out [Bm]for a policeman
There's [A]no street lamps only free buildings, and [Bm]one of them's vacant
Is [A]taking all day, the pack's feeling heavy and [Bm]soon the night.

Backwards down the mountain the axel is grinding, pull into the wrong drive.

The [D]sky is [C#m]in the [Bm]yard,
[D]Stringing cotton candy [C#m]in the [Bm7]fall.

[F#m7]Slow [E]card the [C#m]hard to [D]fall
[F#m7]So [E]long times I [C#m]don't want it at [D]all
I've [Bm]done this so [E]long
[C#m]Something I ought to [D]know
[Bm7]So [A]long.

> (A) Bm7 A Bm7 (solo)

[A]Finally up, all the pieces disrrupted and the [Bm]birds fly.
[A]Trapped for a moment, the sheriff's department got the [Bm]wrong guy.

The [D]town is re[C#m]vealed the [Bm]lone,
[D]visible winds[C#m]... through the [Bm7]fog.

This [D]slow cruel [C#m]hands of [Bm7]time,
[D]turning you [C#m]back into a [Bm7]child.
