Blood – Middle-East (CAPO ON 4TH FRET)

Intro: (Main Riff x2)

Verse 1:
F        C/F       Dm         Am     F
Older brother, restless soul, lie down.
F         C/F          Dm     Am      F
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth.
F       C/F       Dm     Am    F
You can hear your sister sleep talking,
                    C/F       Dm      Am         F
Say 'you're hair is long but not long enough to reach

Chorus:

 F              C                 F                    C
    Home to me,    But your beard,   Someday might be.

Bridge:
                   Am7          Fadd9         C
And she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
          Am7             Fadd9               C
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
    Am7             Fadd9                   C               Am7
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
Fadd9         C
She'll lay it aside

(Main Riff x2)

Verse 2:
F       C/F      Dm      Am      F
  Older father, weary soul, you'll drive
             C/F      Dm       Am   F
Back to the home you made on the mountainside
         C/F   Dm    Am    F
With that ugly, terrible thing
             C/F   Dm
Those papers for divorce
      Am      F
And a lonely ring,


Chorus 2:
                C
  A lonely ring
                  F
Sit on your porch
                       C
And pluck your strings

Bridge 2:
               Am7     Fadd9         C
Oh, and you'll find somebody you can blame
           Am7                  Fadd9             C
And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
Am7            Fadd9                C
    And you'll find the peace of the Lord.

(Main Riff x2)

Verse 3: (Main riff)
F       C/F     Dm     Am      F
  Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly
       C/F       Dm    Am       F
Over your life once more before you die
           C/F     Dm         Am
 Since our grandma passed away
 F     C/F        Dm      Am      F
You've waited for forever and a day

Chorus 3: (Strum)
             C
Just to die,
                  F
And someday soon
             C
You will die

Bridge3: (Strum bass note then rest of chord)
Am7             Fadd9          C
It was the only woman you ever loved
         Am7               Fadd9                C
That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
        Am7                          Fadd9             C
And the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
Em7                 Cadd9                G-------
And there's nothing you can do about it now
