Chord/Tab song: Some Slender Rest

basic chords

Capo: 2nd fret

[C]And I'm a go make[G] my be[F]d
Tuck in the other s[C]ide
These confessions are m[G]ine [F]
But I'll not claim a[C] word

[C]This restless parade
Yes I watched it go b[F]y
Through the cracks in my p[C]alm
Seen them all go[G]ne
Some sequence of li[C]ves

[C]Well she calls out alone
With the pain in her v[F]oice
It's the wound of[C] betrayal
It's the weapon of [G]choice

Left her heart on disp[C]lay
Though that she'l[F]l deny
Two tattoos of s[C]kin
One of ice one of t[G]in
For the days have gone [C]by [C7]

But[Am] I ain't[F] one to remin[C]isce
But c[Am]lose my h[F]eart and clench my f[C]ists [G]

Now the days swiftly p[C]ass
With the chest full of f[F]ear
Here the minutes are h[C]ours
But the moments are y[G]ears

And old acquaintances p[C]assed
In trios, in p[F]airs
And if they stay or they [C]go
One struggles to k[G]now
One struggles to c[C]are [C7]

But [Am]out beyon[F]d the Ten Tree w[C]alls
The w[Am]ind blows h[F]ard the highway c[C]rawls

And if [Am]you should p[F]ass the J[C]ames Hot[G]el
P[Am]lease stop [C]in for I k[G]new you w[F]ell
But t[Am]hat was [F]oh so long [C]ago
And I [Am]never l[F]earned how to let [C]go [G]

But when you fear your own f[C]aults
And you're sick of this[F] life
When you're reckless of[C] hand
And trembling the k[G]nife
And all your doors prefer l[C]ocks
And your death prefers s[F]poons
Why wouldn't you[C] wait one last laugh at[G] fate
Forever's too[C] soon[C7]

But a[Am]cross the f[F]ield death bell k[C]nells
Listen c[Am]lose he[F]ar the toll t[C]ell

To [Am]run and t[F]ell my d[C]arling t[G]rue
My b[Am]reath is s[C]hort
My d[G]ays are f[F]ew
So p[Am]lease come [G]down
And t[F]ake my h[G]and
My l[Am]ast dema[G]nd
And l[Am]ead me [F]to some slender r[C]est
And p[Am]lease dismi[F]ss what I conf[C]ess [G]
