Laura Gibson - Funeral Song Chords

[Verse]

  G                       Em
If these bare walls could sing

           C                    G
They would sing us a funeral song

                  Em                 C
Push their wooden words into your mouth

G                      Em
They would not wish to be

 C                 G
A burden to your tongue

G                   Em
Would not wish to carry on

C
Too long

[Chorus]

Am       Em
With no sorrow

G      G/F#    Em
Ask no greater pardon

         Am
Than the pattern

        Em              C
Time is carving in your skin

[Verse]

   G                      Em
If these pale bones could sway

           C                   G
They would march to a funeral song

                     Em             C
And pull their milky way across the yard

G                     Em
They would not wish to keep

    C                 G
You tethered to their arms

G                       Em       C
They would not wish to carry on too far

[Chorus]

Am       Em
With no sorrow

G      G/F#    Em
Ask no greater pardon

         Am
Than the pattern

        Em              C
Time is carving in your skin

[Break]

G, Em, C (2x)

[Verse]

        G                Em
Well if I could stretch my ears

  C             G
Into a grand procession

G                       Em
And circle 'round your wisdom

      C
Like a song

G                 Em
I would not wish to be

C                 G
The fire in your belly

G                 
I would not wish for

 Em              C
Holding you too long

[Chorus]

Am       Em
With no sorrow

G      G/F#    Em
Ask no greater pardon

         Am
Than the pattern

        Em              C
Time is carving in your skin

[Outro}

C until the song fades out
