Emmy the Great - The Woods

capo 2nd

G               C           
December came faster than most
          D             G      G/f#
And before we knew it, it was cold
Em              C
And you turned to me
D          G                    C              G
As if to say that we should not have come this way
 G     G/f#         Em      C        D       G
You didn't ask a question, so I had no reply

G                       C
And we came upon a congregation
           D                G      G/f#
And we turned our faces to the constellation
        Em          C     D    G
Singing we are both believers now
G                       C              G
But still there was no voice in the clouds
 G            G/f#                Em      
You see, the stars are not our conscience
 C                  D       G
They are just another light in our eyes
   Em
In our eyes
         C              D               G
They are just another light keeping us blind

G               C   
Long time I have left Umeah
D                  G           G/f#
Long time travelled in your company
Em           C           D       G
But I see the road before us is split
G                C              G
And I know that I should follow it
G      G/f#                 Em
But I know that I will find you
         C               D                   G
When the morning spreads it's breath across the night
Em
Find you
   C              D            G
In the morning at the end of my life

G        D      G
G        Em     C     D    G

G                      C
December's roads are long and they're tough 
           D              G           G/f#
And sometimes I get really tired and stuck
Em               C        D        G
But I keep the thought that when I die
  C                    D               G
They will carry me and lay me by your side
  C                    D               G
They will carry me and lay me by your side
            Em
And there amongst the dirt
     C             D           G
At last our roads again will merge
