Ladder Song Bright Eyes
Bright Eyes - Ladder Song, off of The People's Key
It's a great song on the piano, but goes well on an acoustic guitar
Make sure you play the G chord
and the B - Bb/Bm transition as follows;
G: 320003
Bm: x24432
Bb/Bm: x14432
Dmaj7: xx0222
D7: xx0212
A/D: x00323
[Bm]No one knows where the [Bb/Bm]ladder goes
[Bm]You're going to lose what you[Bb/Bm] love the most
[Em]You're not alone in [G]anything
[Em]You're not unique in [G]dying
[Bm]I feel estranged every [Bb/Bm]now and then
[Bm]Fall asleep reading[Bb/Bm] science fiction
[Em]I want to fly in your [G]silver ship
[Em]Let Jesus hang and [G]Buddha [A]sit
[D]It's on now
The days are [A]long now
The ups and the [G]sundowns
In a twisting m[A]ind
If I've got to [D]go first
I'll do it on [A]my terms
I'm tired of [G]traitors always changing [A]sides
They were [B]friends [A]of [G]mine
[Bm]Don't hang around once the [Bb/Bm]promise breaks
[Bm]Or you'll be there when t[Bb/Bm]he next one's made
[Em]Kiss the feet of a [G]charlatan
[Em]Some imagined f[G]reedom
[Bm]All the rest is [Bb/Bm]predictable
[Bm]You can say you're the [Bb/Bm]first to know
[Em]Bought a mantra to [G]concentrate
[Em]Car alarm or [G]hissing [A]snake
[D]I know now
How it's going to [A]turn now
You got to [G]calm down
Or I'll lose my [A]place
Got to get to the [D]center
Got to get to the [A]concert
Run off with a [G]dancer
Going to cele[E]brate
[Em]We'll welcome to [A]new age
[D]Covered in [G]war[G/F#]rior [Em]paint
Lights from the [A]jungle to the [D]sky[Dmaj7] [D7]
[Em]I've seen how a [A]star's born
[D]Looks just like a [G]blood[G/F#] oran[Em]ge
Don't it just [A]make you want to [D]cry
Precious f[B]riend [A]of [G]mine?
[Bm]Will I know when it's f[Bb/Bm]inally done
[Bm]This whole life's a hal[Bb/Bm]lucination
[Em]You're not alone in [G]anything
[Em]You're not alone in [G]trying
[A/D]To be
