Chord/Tab song: Down the Burning Ropes

Capo on first fret
[Am] [G] [Am]
[Am] [G] [F] [G] [Am] [F] [G] [Am]
Intro: Am

[Am]When the hills let go
Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover
On a ship filled with [G]ghosts
It's something to be[Am]hold

[Am]When the paper thin girls
With twisting little braids in their hair,
They take off their coats and t[G]hrow
Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat,
Crying out[F]
The stones t[G]hey float, the stones t[Am]hey float
Oh my God,[F] the stones t[G]hey float, the stones they [Am]float

[Am]Down the burning ropes
Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies
You make your bed under the [G]moonlight
I think it's time we said g[Am]oodbye

[Am]Cause nothing moves in the warm air
And words that once would cut like a knife,
They just hang in the cloud and y[G]ou're
Pushed by the lord,
But you're pulled by the crowds a[F]nd
You're over[G]board, you're over[Am]board
Oh my God,[F] she's over[G]board, she's over[Am]board

Am G F (last two strumming)
My love she's overboard
Am G F (strumming)
She's overboard
My love she's over board[Am][G][F]

Some uuuhs and aaaaahs with Am G F

[Am]Not a shell unbroken
In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay
It's not the time to be h[G]anging around here
You know what some mi[Am]ght say

[Am]That people get too reckless
That even with the simplest of crimes
They leave, blood behind,
As I [G]clean the knife for the very last time[F]
I think[G] she knows, I think[Am] she knows
Oh my God,[F] I think[G] she knows, I think [Am]she knows

I think she know

Uuuuhs and aAaahhs with Am G F

Enjoy
