Iron And Wine - Tree By The River Ukulele

This is from the Daytrotter Session, picking is quite easy to work out.

Capo: 3

G                          C7
Mary Anne, do you remember
                Am
the tree by the river
                   G
when we were seventeen?

G                                  C7 
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
                      Am 
and the mare in the pasture
                            G
pitch black and baring its teeth.

G                        C7
I recall the sun in our faces,
                     Am
stuck and leaning on braces,
                       G
and being strangers to change.

G                            C7
Radio and the bones we found frozen,
                           Am
and all the thorns and the roses
                    G
beneath your window pane.

Am                  G
Now Im asleep in a car, I mean the world
     Am  
to a potty-mouth girl,
                           G         
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Am                 G    
Time isnt kind or unkind, you liked to say.
      Am
But I wonder to who
                         G
what it is youre saying today.

Am                  G 
Now Im asleep in a car, I mean the world
     Am               
to a potty-mouth girl,
                           G
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Am                     G  
Time isnt kind or unkind, you liked to say.
      Am           
But I wonder to who
                            G
what it is youre saying today.

G                    C7
Mary Anne, do you remember
                Am
the tree by the river
                  G
when we were seventeen?

G                                  C7
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon;
                 Am
happy just to be with you,
                       G
and you were happy for me.
