The Stable Song Tab par Gregory Alan Isakov

C                                 F7
Remember when our songs were just like prayers.
C            Cadd9            Am        F7
Like gospel hymns that you called in the air.
C                             F7
Come down come down sweet reverence,
C           Cadd9       Am     F7
Unto my simple house and ring...
And ring

F7            C            F7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C        Cadd9        Am      F7
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
F7           C             F7
Ring like clear day wedding bells
C       Cadd9         Am             F7
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...
C
We’ll never tell

Em        F7      C       F7      C
Come to me clear and cold on some sea
Em        F7       C         G
Watch the world spinning waves, like that machine

Now I’ve been crazy couldn’t you tell
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell
Now I’m covered up in straw, belly up on the table
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable.

That tall grass grows high and brown,
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
And you sent me back to where I roam
Well I cursed and I cried, but now i know...
now I know

And I ran back to that hollow again
The moon was just a sliver back then
And I ached for my heart like some tin man
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang...
oh it's ringing

F7           C         F7
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
C           Cadd9         Am         F7
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
F7          C         F7
Ring like silver, ring like gold
C           Cadd9         F7
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal.
