Winter Prayers Iron & Wine
I made this tab because the other ones on here have a few wrong chords as well as wrong lyrics.
These lyrics are straight from the liner notes, and the chords have been taken from the
KEXP performance.
As usual with Sam Beam, he embellishes with hammer-ons and pull-offs. If you watch the
live performance, you can get a good idea of these.
Standard Tuning
Capo II
Verse 1:
[Am]Well its cold, and [Dm]you're bored[Dsus2]
[G] [E]
[Am]When you dream you're b[Dm]ack home[Dsus2]
[G]But the lakeside don't trust you to [E]walk alone
Hol[Am]low trees, talk o[Dm]ffhand[Dsus2]

[Am]And you know why sh[Dm]e's go[Dsus2]ne
[G]Like the clothes in the river, [E]drifting on

Verse 2:
[Am]Well she left you the [Dm]hole[Dsus2]s
[G]The tracks in the back yard, Dec[E]ember snow
[Am]But those sad sou[Dm]venirs[Dsus2]
[G]They end at the fence line, and [E]disappear
[Am]Why you'd follow her [Dm]there[Dsus2]?
[G]Milwaukee's a deaf ear for [E]winter prayers
[Am]There's no night, there's [Dm]no da[Dsus2]y
[G]With only hope in your pocket, and [E]hell to pay
Chorus:
[Dm]Slide down [G]south
[Am]Cause once in a while your confidence leaves you
Lik[Dm]e smoke falls [G]out her [Am]red [E]mouth

[Am] [Dm] [Dsus2] [G] [E]
