Of MONSTERS AND MEN
YOUR BONES

here is a basic version of this song...
capo 8 


       Am             C
In the spring we made a boat
        Am             C
Out of feathers, out of bones.
        Am             C
We set fire to our homes,
        Am             C
Walking barefoot in the snow.
        Am             C
Distant rhythm of the drum
        Am             C
As we drifted towards the storm.
        Am             C
Baby lion lost his teeth,
        Am             C
Now they're swimming in the sea.


        Am             C
Troubled spirits on my chest
        Am             C
Where they laid to rest.
        Am             C
The birds all left my tall friend,
        Am             C
As your body hit the sand.
        Am             C
Million stars up in the sky
  Am             C
Formed a tigers eye
        Am             C
That looked down on my face,
        Am             C
Out of time and out of place.


      F    
So hold on,
  F              Am
Hold on to what we are,
  F              Am          Am
Hold on to your heart.

        Am             C
Awaken by the sound of a screaming owl.
        Am             C
Chasing leafs in the wind,
        Am             C
Going where we've never been.
        Am             C
Said goodbye to you my friend,
      Am     C
As the fire spread.
        Am             C
All that's left are your bones
           Am             C
That will soon sink like stones.

Instrumental- Am C (x 4)

     F  
So hold on, 
  F              Am
Hold on to what we are,
  F              Am
Hold on to your heart.
