Some Slender Rest Two Gallants
basic chords
Capo: 2nd fret
[C]And I?m a go make m[G]y bed [F]
Tuck in the other s[C]ide
These confessions are m[G]ine [F]
But I?ll not claim a w[C]ord
[C]This restless parade
Yes I watched it go b[F]y
Through the cracks in my p[C]alm
Seen them all go[G]ne
Some sequence of li[C]ves
[C]Well she calls out alone
With the pain in her v[F]oice
It?s the wound of b[C]etrayal
It?s the weapon of ch[G]oice
Left her heart on disp[C]lay
Though that she?ll [F]deny
Two tattoos of s[C]kin
One of ice one of t[G]in
For the days have gone [C]by [C7]
But[Am] I ain?t o[F]ne to reminis[C]ce
But c[Am]lose my h[F]eart and clench my f[C]ists [G]
Now the days swiftly p[C]ass
With the chest full of f[F]ear
Here the minutes are h[C]ours
But the moments are y[G]ears
And old acquaintances p[C]assed
In trios, in p[F]airs
And if they stay or they [C]go
One struggles to k[G]now
One struggles to c[C]are [C7]
But [Am]out beyon[F]d the Ten Tree w[C]alls
The w[Am]ind blows h[F]ard the highway c[C]rawls
And if [Am]you should p[F]ass the J[C]ames Hot[G]el
P[Am]lease stop [C]in for I k[G]new you w[F]ell
But t[Am]hat was [F]oh so long [C]ago
And I [Am]never l[F]earned how to let [C]go [G]
But when you fear your own f[C]aults
And you?re sick of this l[F]ife
When you?re reckless of h[C]and
And trembling the k[G]nife
And all your doors prefer l[C]ocks
And your death prefers s[F]poons
Why wouldn?t you w[C]ait one last laugh at f[G]ate
Forever?s too s[C]oon [C7]
But a[Am]cross the f[F]ield death bell k[C]nells
Listen c[Am]lose he[F]ar the toll t[C]ell
To [Am]run and t[F]ell my d[C]arling t[G]rue
My b[Am]reath is s[C]hort
My d[G]ays are f[F]ew
So p[Am]lease come [G]down
And t[F]ake my h[G]and
My l[Am]ast dema[G]nd
And l[Am]ead me [F]to some slender r[C]est
And p[Am]lease dismi[F]ss what I conf[C]ess [G]
