Decemberists - Severed Chords

[Intro]
Em  D5  Am  Em
Em  D5  Am  Em


[Verse 1]
Em                  D5
   I alight like a whisper
Am                    Em
   I alight with the lights out
Em                                    D5
   And it won't take me long just to find you
Am                                    Em
   And it won't take me long just to find you


[Chorus 1]
C                    Em
  I'm allied to the winter
                  D5                    Am
But don't you get clever, don't you get clever
C                    Em
  I'm allied to the landslide
                    D5     N.C.                  Em
Gonna leave you all severed, gonna leave you all severed


[Verse 2]
Em                 D5
   I alone am the answer
Am                    Em
   I alone will make wrongs right
Em                               D5
   But in order to root out the cancer
Am                               Em
   It's got to be kept from the sun line


[Chorus 2]
C                    Em
  I'm allied to the winter
                  D5                    Am
But don't you get clever, don't you get clever
C                    Em
  I'm allied to the landslide
                    D5     N.C.                  Em
Gonna leave you all severed, gonna leave you all severed


[Interlude]
G  Am  Em
G  Am  Em


[Verse 3]
Em                  D5
   I was born to a jackal
Am                  Em
   I was born in a whiteout
Em                               D5
   Gonna smother you all till I choke you
Am                                 Em
   Gonna smother you all till you kick out


[Chorus 3]
C                    Em
  I'm allied to the winter
                  D5                    Am
But don't you get clever, don't you get clever
C                    Em
  I'm allied to the landslide
                    D5     N.C.                  Em
Gonna leave you all severed, gonna leave you all severed


[Outro]
G  Am  Em
