We Don’t Eat James Vincent McMorrow
Song: We Don't Eat
Tuning: Normal
I play this with a capo on 5 only because its much easier to sing! Capo placement
is up to yourself.
Chords seem to be perfect, only issue is the bridge, I'm not 100% sure if they are
correct, but still sounds fine.
Great Tune, easy to play, enjoy!
Intro: G C G
VERSE 1
[G]if this is redem[C]ption, why do i bother a[G]t all
[G]theres nothing t[C]o mention, and nothing h[G]as changed
[C]still id rather [C]be working at so[C]mething, than pr[EM]aying for the rain
[C]so i wander on, [C]till someone els[G]e is saved
[G]i moved to the c[C]oast, under a mo[G]untain
[G]swam in the ocea[C]n, slept on my o[G]wn
[C]at dawn i would [C]watch the sun, c[C]ut ribbons throu[EM]gh the bay
[C]id remember all,[C] the things my m[EM]other wrote
Chorus
[EM]that we dont eat[C] until your fath[G]ers at the table
[EM]we dont drink un[C]til the devils t[G]urned to dust
[C]never once has a[D]ny man ive met been able[EM] to love
[C]so if i were you[C], id have a litt[G]le trust

VERSE 2
[G]two thousand yea[C]rs, ive been in that wat[G]er
[G]two thousand yea[C]rs, sunk like a [G]stone
[C]desperately reac[C]hing for nets that t[EM]he fishermen have thrown
[C]trying to find, [C]a little bit of [G]hope
[G]me i was holding[C], all of my secr[G]ets soft and hid
[G]pages were folde[C]d, then there wa[G]s nothing at all
[C]so if in the fut[C]ure i might, nee[EM]d myself a saviour
[C]i'll remember wh[C]at was, written on that [G]wall
CHORUS
BRIDGE
[C]am i an honest man and t[D]rue
[D]have i been good to you [EM]at all
[EM]oh im so tired of playing these [C]games
[C]wed just be running down
[D]the same old lines, the same old stories[D] of
[C]breathless trains and, worn down glories[D]
[C]houses burning, worlds that turn on thei[D]r own
chorus
[EM]that we dont eat[C] until your fath[G]ers at the table
[EM]we dont drink un[C]til the devils t[G]urned to dust
[C]never once has a[D]ny man ive met been able[EM] to love
[C]so if i were you[C] my friend
[C]learn to have ju[C]st a, little bit[G] of trust.
