Ben Howard - Old Pine Chords

[Intro] G Em D


[Verse]
G                                          Em
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,

I've come to know that memories
        D
Were the best things you ever had
G
The summer shone beat down on bony backs
                      Em
So far from home where the ocean stood
     D                          G
Down dust and pine cone.. tracks

G
We slept like dogs down by the fire side
                Em
Awoke to the fog all around us
    D
The boom of summer time


[Chorus]
G
We stood                                        )
              Em
Steady as the stars in the woods                )
        G
So happy-hearted                                )
                          D
And the warmth rang true inside these bones     )*2
      Em                D
As the old pine fell we sang
                          G
Just to bless the morning.


[Verse]
G
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
                     Em
I've come to know the friends around you
    D
Are all you'll always have
G
Smoke in my lungs, or by the echoed stone
                                Em
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly
         D
With weightless souls now.


[Chorus]
G
We stood
              Em
Steady as the stars in the woods
        G
So happy-hearted
                    D                        G
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
G
We stood
              Em
Steady as the stars in the woods
        G
So happy-hearted
                    D
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
      Em                D
As the old pine fell we sang
                          G
Just to bless the morning.


[Outro]
G
We grow, grow, steady as the morning
  Em           D
We grow, grow, older still
  G
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
  Em           D      
We grow, grow, older still
  G
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
  Em           D
We grow, grow, older still
  G
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
  Em           D
We grow, grow, older still
