Yoke

[Verse 1]
Em                          G
I found the binding of the yoke
        C                       G 
That connects us here, in this 
        F#m
herd of hope
Em                         Bm
Escort me to your kingdom come
       C                       
From the gallows' hold, and the 
   Em             C Em C Em
things we've done

[Verse 2]
Em                             Bm
You stole so much, so much at times
           C               G      
Just being bad, like the books we 
   F#m
read
      Em                   Bm
The helplessness that you played 
upon
            G             Em
Was just tenderness, to disarm

[Verse 3]
      C                       D
She ushered in love, but it drove 
you mad
              C               
Not to have everything of your 
   G
envisioning
       C                G
She wandered in on the peace you 
lacked
                  Em               
Yeah and you're losing still, that 
           C
life you could've had

[Verse 4]
Em                        G      
Tell that story one more time for
   Bm
 me
        C                        
Of the baited fields just for the 
   G
taking dear
Em                    Bm
Where you heard the hunter's call
             C                 G
But your discipline kept you from 
the fall
Em                          C    
But oh, to hold that tenderness 
          G
in these grubby hands

[Verse 5]
             D
I'd shoot anything
          C                     G
And you laughed at me, but you know 
I'm right
                Em                 
So why do you claim the strength to
           C    Em  Bm  C  G
 put up a fight
         C                     D
And you hold your nightmares close 
from view

[Verse 6]
                  C           
The horses going wild, under a 
           G
breaking moon
        C                       G
There's no way the bridle ever fits 
the bride
              Em                   
Yeah, and the weight of it, that's 
C          Em C Em C Em
why we're here
