• Song:

    Jimmy He Whispers

  • Artist:

    Manchester Orchestra

This is the bonus track from the album Mean Everything to Nothing.  "Jimmy, He 
Whispers" is the only title I've seen it go by so I'm assuming that it's right.

Capo 8th fret

Em
Em         D/F#         G
God knows you're on my mind
         Am     C        Em
I can't try to tell him otherwise
Em        D/F#       G
God knows it's only time
          Am        C       Em
Before i break the chain in my eyes
Em              D/F#      G
Fear keeps you hiding at night
          Am       C         Em
and the creatures play ball outside
Em          D/F#         G
Chances are slim we are right
         Am      C           Em
But i'd never think it any otherwise
Em                 D/F#       G
So we'll find the answers in time
         Am     C       Em
and the bodies pile up sky high
Em                D/F#             G
and ill sail this ship towards the sky
         Am       C          Em
but ill end all alone on the other side
Em                         D/F#                G
and if you could pull that rope just a little higher
           Am     C           Em
we would dangle alone like a firefly

Em            D/F#                G
so Jimmy i've heard the voice of God
         Am       C       Em
and he whispered fear is logical
        Am        C       Em
and he said it's magic, wonderful
        Am        C        Em
and he swears to him it's wonderful
         Am       C          Em
and the lake you speak of is magical
      Am         C      Em
so i skip stones on it, practical
       Am        C         Em
and i make sure we're both wonderful

          Am          C        Em
you're a brother and that's alright (x3)
        Am        C        Em
we're brothers it makes it right
         Am          C      Em
cuz his blood is so red in spite
        Am           C           Em
of the way that our sharp teeth bite
       Am            C           Em
oh the way that our sharp teeth bite
         Am      C        Em
in each other during the night
          Am             C       Em
with the creatures that play outside
           Am             C       Em
we're the creatures that play outside

Em             D/F#               G
cuz jimmy i've heard the voice of God
        Am        C       Em
and he whispered fear is logical
        Am             C             Em
and the words that we heard aren't repeatable
        Am                C          Em
with a thought that could kill comprehendable

           Am           C        Em
and we're brothers and that's alright [x3]
             Am         C      Em
yeah, we're brothers until we die
