Аккорды Joshua Davis - The Ballad Of Lawrence Wotkyns King

[Intro]

F  Gm Am  Gm   F

[Chorus 1]

F
One last song for Lawrence Wotkyns King
C                          F
Still he steps down in his grave
F                     Bb
and enters himself in cherry fall
F                  C     F
deep underneath the hard rain

[Verse 1]

F                      Bb
He met Polly out on the Erie shore
F                  C
singing a question naked
F                         Bb
tell me if the rains are falling down
F                   C   F
it crumble them in cold quaking

Bb                          F
Come on the waters sharving lets swim
F                      C
She said with an aspen throat
F                               Bb
He stripped and took her hand and he stepped
F        C            F
Into the lakes winter cold
Bb                       F
Charoow chispers on her Irish arms
F                           C
and he kisses a freckle too far
F                         Bb
sitting in the easment he jokes
    F          C          F
how difficult thigh highs are
Bb                      F
There's a question that creeks in the woods
F                 C
you think but don't ask it
   F   Gm     Am        Bb     F
in tea flower fields of uncut grass
F         C        F
with a dog biscuit basket

[Chorus 2]

F
One last song for Lawrence Wotkyns King
C                           F
Still he steps down in his grave
F                     Bb
and enters himself in cherry fall
F                  C     F
deep underneath the hard rain

[Verse 2]

F
a million years 'neath the wind and the rain
                   Bb
naked swimming at night
F
a million years of not being dead
     F              C      F
When Polly felt her lungs dry

F
Let it rest Lawrence Polly can't last
                      C
circling rings on his hands
F
Let it rest and do me hear abouts
      F       C       C
while I still own the land

Bb                       F
Stractch my name off the mailbox she said
F                        C
green fingers filling a glove
F                       Bb
tell me when the rain's falling down
F                 C      F
tell me what it's crying about

Bb                     F
Timmy come on take the twigs from your hair
F                   C
suffering makes you hard
F                                    Bb
One last time they kicked cobbles of coal
F               C           F
tin cans at the rakes drawn plow

Bb                      F
not yet this fool one bite he tried
F                    C
but she didn't say a word
F    Gm      Am              Bb
What do I do know he said someone help
F            C        F
but only the crickets heard

[Chorus 3]

Bb                         F
One last song for Lawrence Wotkyns King
C                           F
Still he steps down in his grave
F                     Bb
and enters himself in cherry fall
F                  C     F
deep underneath the hard rain

[Verse 3]

F
It doesn't take enternity
                  C
just one generous pause
F                         C
under the sicamore and he sings
F              Bb     F
Why aren't you Polly anymore

F                 Bb         F
He sleeps inside busted oak chest
F                C
which the magpie shares
F                 Bb           F
A rain of falling dogwood buds falls
        F     C      F
and duckweed in his hair

Bb                     F
he sets the sofa perpendicular
                     C
chops out a qualls for firewood
F                       Bb
lays rock rollers on a grave to sleep
         F        C       F
but only whiskey does any good

Bb                            F
feather cotton floats off the trees
F                            C
through six dealer afternoon calls
F                            Bb
he raises her name up and he drinks it
      F         C          F
as he secret he needlessly told

Bb                            F
a little late in the night he grazes a vision
                          C
green fingers feeling his hand
F    Gm     Am              Bb
Of Polly flush holding him saying
F          C        F
See me how I really am

[Chorus 4]

F                           F
One last spell for Lawrence Wotkyns King
C                           C
He couldn't keep her last request
F                   Bb
and enters himself in cherry fall
F              C            F
billing in his skinny black dress
F              C            F
billing in his skinny black dress

[Outro]
F       C       F
