Artist: James Vincent Mcmorrow
Album: Early in the morning
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		C			G
if this is redemption, why do i bother at all
G		C			G
theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
C		C		C		EM
still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
C		C		G
so i wander on, till someone else is saved


 
G		C		G
i moved to the coast, under a mountain
G		C		G
swam in the ocean, slept on my own
C		C		C		EM
at dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
C		C		EM
id remember all, the things my mother wrote

Chorus

EM		C		G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
EM		C		G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C		D			EM
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C		C		G
so if i were you, id have a little trust

VERSE 2
G		C			G
two thousand years, ive been in that water
G		C		G
two thousand years, sunk like a stone
C		C		    EM
desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
C		C		G
trying to find, a little bit of hope


G		C		G
me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
G		C		G
pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
C		C		EM
so if in the future i might, need myself a saviour
C		C			G
i'll remember what was, written on that wall

CHORUS

BRIDGE

C			D
am i an honest man and true
D			EM
have i been good to you at all
EM				C
oh im so tired of playing these games


C
wed just be running down 
D					D
the same old lines, the same old stories of
C					D
breathless trains and, worn down glories
C					D
houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
chorus
EM		C		G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
EM		C		G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C		D			EM
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C		C
so if i were you my friend
C		C		G
learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
