Tether

E Bm A E E Bm A E


[Verse 1]

            E             
Whatever it was, is wasn't 
     Bm
manumission
             A                  E
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
                 E               
You can bury the past, but it's a 
      Bm
mausoleum
                    A              
With the ghost of a fist that won't
     E
 let us be


[Chorus]

E                 Bm
Can we bring it together,
                     A             
Can we call from the mountain to 
           E
the valley below?
E                Bm
Can we make it better,
                 A                 
Do we tether the hawk, do we tether
     E
 the dove?


[Verse 2]

                E                  
I kicked up the dirt, and I said to
        Bm
 my neighbor
                   A             
"We keep making it worse, we keep 
            E
getting it wrong"
                 E                 
He tucked in his shirt, he stood a 
           Bm
little bit straighter,
                    A              
"We need a few less words dear, we 
                E
need a few more guns."

[Chorus]

E                       Bm
But will it bring us together,
                     A             
Can we call from the mountain to 
           E
the valley below?
E                Bm
Can we make it better,
                 A                 
Do we tether the hawk, do we tether
     E
 the dove?

[Bridge]

N.C.     C#m
Enduring love
       A           E         D   
Why so much and so strong, beyond
              A
 this short existence?
            C#m
So don't be still
                  E
You say there's a long line behind 
you
         D                A
And it's hardly worth the mentioning
      C#m
But I will
             E
Cause we may flicker and fade,
       D              A
But we never will be through with 
this


[Verse 3]

           E                      
I see this world battered but not 
Bm
broken
                 A                 
There's a fallow heart, it's 
              E
waiting on a sowing hand
                      E            
You can grow what you want, one day
            Bm
 it's gonna rise up
                  A             
So plant what you need to make a 
        E
better stand


[Chorus]

E                     Bm
And we'll bring it together,
                        A          
And we'll call from the mountain to
              E
 the valley below.
E                 Bm
And we'll make it better,
              A                    
Let go of the hawk, we let go of 
  E
the dove.


[Chorus]

          E                      
I sing to you,                   
Bm                                
        all you true believers
                A

              (Can we bring it 
together)                       
(each call from the mountain)
With the strength to see this       
      E
              and not be still.
                         (to the 
valley below.)
                E                  
I'm telling you now,               
  Bm                               
          find the hope that feeds 
                      A
you,
                    (Will it get any
 better?)                           
  (do we tether the hawk?
Don't let 'em bleed you             
     E
           of your will.
                       (do we tether
 the dove?)
