Starlight Chords

(ver. 1)
The Wailin Jennys
Standard tuning. Most of it is actually banjo, but I wanted to play it with just a 
guitar and was shocked to see that no one had taken the time to figure it out yet. 
It's not perfect, but it's close enough.

Intro: Am G Am G Am Am

        Am
I have come back to you broken
         G
take me home
        Am
And my body bears this trouble
        G
take me home
G
Take me back to my beginning
G
Before the hell of night set in
G
And I came to this border
        Am
take me home


        Am
I have toured the endless starlight
         G
take me home
        Am
I have shattered under midnight
         G
take me home
G
There are no vultures in this clearing
G
Except the ones who brought me here
G
And I'll no longer feed them
        Am
take me home


F                   G
Kingdom come, their will was done
    Am
And now the earth is far away
     C
F                 G
Hallowed be these frozen fields
     Am
And every single one of us
      C 
still left in want of mercy
        Am
Take us home


Am G Am G G G G Am


        Am
Now the bells stand still and hollow
        G
take me home
       Am
And no one has come to mourn me
        G
take me home
G
Find me where I close my eyes
G
Beneath this sky of powerlines
G
And let me see us clearly
        Am
take me home


F                   G
Kingdom come, their will was done
    Am
And now the earth is far away
     C
F                 G
Hallowed be these frozen fields
     Am
And every single one of us
      C 
still left in want of mercy
        Am
Take us home
