[Gang of Youths]

[Verse 1]

B
Older brother, restless soul, lie 
down
B
Lie for a while with your ear 
against the earth
B
And you’ll hear your sister sleep 
talking
B
Say, “Your hair is long but not long
 enough to reach
B
Home to me
B
But your beard
B
Someday might be”

[Chorus 1]

G#m                   E          
And she woke up in a cold sweat 
       B
on the floor
G#m                   E          
Next to a family portrait drawn 
       B
when you were four
G#m                   E          
And beside a jar of two-cent 
       B             E
coins that are no good no more
            B
She’ll lay it aside

E B (x2)

[Verse 2]

B
Older father, weary soul, you’ll 
drive
B
Out to the home you made on the 
mountainside
G#m               E           B
With that ugly, terrible thing
E                   B
Those papers for divorce
E
And a lonely ring
       B
A lonely ring
       E
Sit on your porch
        B
And pluck your strings

[Chorus 1]

G#m                   E          
And you’ll find somebody you can 
       B
blame
G#m                   E          
And you’ll follow the creek that 
       B
runs out into the sea
G#m                   E
And you’ll find the peace of the 
Lord

B  C#m G#m B E x4

[Verse 3]

E
Grandfather, weary soul, you’ll fly
E                                 
Over your life once more before 
  B
you die
G#m                   E          
Since our grandma passed away
       B

E                   B          E
You’ve waited for forever and a day
        B
Just to die
          E
And someday soon
         B
You will die

[Gang of Youths - Mumford & Sons]

[Chorus 3]

G#m                   E          
Oh the only woman you ever loved
       B

G#m                   E          
She got burnt by the sun too 
       B
often when she was young
G#m                   E          
And the cancer spread and ran 
        G#m           E
into her body and her blood
G#m                   E          
And there’s nothing that you can 
       B
do about it now
