Nathaniel Rateliff - Early Spring Till Chords

A wonderful song from Nathaniel Rateliff... truly different and incredibly mesmerising

Standard tuning
Capo 2

nb on the C chord he plays a little hammer / pull on the D string.
Release the fretted 2nd fret to open and hammer on again... a nice little effect!


Intro on the C chord
--------------------

C
I was out there missing steps

                          G
When you swung around to me

C
Best and land, not to crash or

                   G  
Pulling out too late

C
Call on everyone you ever knew

      G
And plead


Pre-chorus 1
------------

     Fmaj7                   C
Well I've been the bum who's underfed

Fmaj7                 C
I've been the one who should've said

Fmaj7
Maybe I'm wrong 

         C                G
And I've always been that way


Chorus 1
--------

        C            Am
Are you tired do you feel

      G
Wrung out

         C
Have you fallen 

     Am           G

        C
Are you cut off 

   Am                 G
In fields and pressed down

        C            Am
Like an early spring till 

                  G
That don't come a-round

             C
I think I've been there


Pre-Chorus 2
------------

Fmaj7                         C
	I think I'm waiting too long

Fmaj7                             C
	You try to this panting and paw

Dm              Am                 G
	You set a course to cross me out


Chorus 2
--------

        C         Am
Are you tired and broken

        G
Once so stout

             C      Am
Are you full of the feeling

      G 
Don't doubt it when it's gone

             C       Am
I could curl up this reel

          G
And leave now

             C       Am
I could fill up with air 

              G
And scream so loud

            C
I think I'm going to

I hope I've done it justice!
