I love this song. Reminds me of Neil Young circa After the Gold Rush. The song is in
Bm. Bobby plays it with the capo on II, so I am using those chords. Man, I tried hard
to listen and watch him play. But I know there are some mistakes, so lemme know. As
usual the formatting nails me!
Intro: vamp it in Am
I'm pal[C]e I've brought it back to Win[G]ter Tale
So spare the ghosts aroun[Am]d my neck
The winds against the sa[F]ils
I'm shi[C]vering up a storm o[G]f roadside pines, a
Thirst shreds the balla[Am]st cold
And shows the olden tim[F]es
[Am]( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bobby_long/a_winter_tale_crd.html )
I'm bold [C]and sorrow thrown into t[G]he day
Into the barrels of the [Am]sun I turned and fou[F]nd a way
The naked[C] branches cut the empty a[G]ir
The river birds have fle[Am]d away
From all their wear and t[F]ear
[Am]
Am Em G (for each line)
The covered surface hugs the board but keeps in the sky
A childhood glimpse that keeps you warm but hangs you to dry
The shameful dream the shameful face that pulls on your heart
Those brittle winds will keep the dawn from you at the start
So bri[C]ng me [G]choirs[Am] to ease[G] me on [F]my way
So br[C]ing me[G] screa[Am]ms of o[F]rgans for[G] the day
So bri[C]ng me [G]choirs [Am]to bri[G]ghten a[F]ll the gales
So bring [C]me sc[G]reams[Am] of organ[F]s and t[G]he wails
Of winter [Am]tales
I heard a lonely voice cut through the rain
"So take away my conscious mind and take away my fame,"
To embrace the day to cut through my only soul
I'd starch my love of all its parts
To the blackness of burnt coal.
