Ben Howard - Burgh Island Chords

[Verse 1]
     Am                                    G
With brown eyes shining, a sure light on a way to go
        Am                                          G
And the sun chides you're reeling home, against your glow
        Am                                     G
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
        Am                                     G
And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones
 
 
[Chorus]
       Am                        C            G
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
               Am                        C
That you're the best woman I have ever known
 
Am   G (x4)
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Am                                    G
With brown eyes shining, a sure line on a way to go
        Am                 G
And the sun chides you so long
       Am                                      G
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
        Am                                          G
And the world break for it, on Burgh Island in sepia tones
 
 
[Chorus]
       Am                        C            G
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
               Am                        C
That you're the best woman I have ever known
 
Am   G (x4)
Am7   G    C (x4)
 
 
[Outro]
      Am7  G  C                          Am7  G    C
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
        Am7    G  C          Am7             G
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
              C
The wind blew in
 
      Am7  G  C                          Am7  G    C
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
        Am7    G  C          Am7             G
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
              C
The wind blew in
