The Avett Brothers - Yardsale Chords

[Intro]

G


[Verse 1]

G                               C                 G
I wonder if this blade ever ran through someone's side
Am                      C
The blood wiped away to hide
C                                     G
How evil you grandfather was 'fore he died
G                         C         G
But war can make monsters out of us all
Am                      C
I'm sure I'd become one if I was called
G                 C     D7
And then it would be my blade
             C   G
Here at this yardsale


[Verse 2]
(repeat verse 1 chords)

The guitar I am holding is way out of tune
The neck it is warped and the saddle is through
I wonder if sweet music ever was played
From the hands of a boy to a girl in the shade
From this rickety ghost of a song
Here at this yardsale


[Verse 3]
(repeat verse 1 chords)

A dollar for anything here on this quilt
A price tag for hands from which all things are built
A blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame
Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same
A basket of nothing at all
Here at this yardsale


[Verse 4]
(repeat verse 1 chords)

So if I had the money I'd buy everything
And cover the whole lot with good gasoline
And burn it for all that I care for the past
And rid mother earth of what never should last
And give her the present of ash
Made of a yardsale
