Band Of Horses - Slow Cruel Hands Of Time
Album: Mirage Rock, 2012
tabbed by: Eric Lambrecht
Note: This is a simplified version of the picking pattern
(one instead of two guitars, no capo), but it still sounds awesome :)
INTRO:
[F#msus4] [E] [C#m7+5] [D]
[Bm7] [Bm7]
VERSES:
[A] [A] [Bm] [Bm7] [Bm] [Bm] [Bm7]
CHORUS:
[D] [C#m] [Bm] [Bm]
[D] [C#m] [Bm7] [Bm7]
"[A]Biding My Time" getting stuck in my mind is a [Bm]boat to row. (?)
[A]Two hours later back in my neighbourhood, where [Bm]everything just stops.
It [A]still looks the same, they remember my name stepped it [Bm]in for a cup full.
There's a [A]big city man, I used to rumble with him back in [Bm]high school.
The [D]slow cruel [C#m]hands of [Bm]time
[D]Turn you into molten [C#m]lava, oh [Bm7]my
There's a [A]place on the right, you can stop for a while, look out [Bm]for a policeman
There's [A]no street lamps only free buildings, and [Bm]one of them's vacant
Is [A]taking all day, the pack's feeling heavy and [Bm]soon the night.
Backwards down the mountain the axel is grinding, pull into the wrong drive.
The [D]sky is [C#m]in the [Bm]yard,
[D]Stringing cotton candy [C#m]in the [Bm7]fall.
[F#m7]Slow [E]card the [C#m]hard to [D]fall
[F#m7]So [E]long times I [C#m]don't want it at [D]all
I've [Bm]done this so [E]long
[C#m]Something I ought to [D]know
[Bm7]So [A]long.
> (A) Bm7 A Bm7 (solo)
[A]Finally up, all the pieces disrrupted and the [Bm]birds fly.
[A]Trapped for a moment, the sheriff's department got the [Bm]wrong guy.
The [D]town is re[C#m]vealed the [Bm]lone,
[D]visible winds[C#m]... through the [Bm7]fog.
This [D]slow cruel [C#m]hands of [Bm7]time,
[D]turning you [C#m]back into a [Bm7]child.
