Mumford & Sons feat Gang Of Youths - Blood (Live)

[Intro]
B

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

E B (x2)

[Mumford & Sons]

[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 B
And you’ll find somebody you can blame
G#m E B
And you’ll follow the creek that 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

[Gang of Youths]

[Verse 3]

E
Grandfather, weary soul, you’ll fly
E B
Over your life once more before you die
G#m E B
Since our grandma passed away
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 B
Oh the only woman you ever loved
G#m E B
She got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
G#m E G#m E
And the cancer spread and ran into her body and her blood
G#m E B
And there’s nothing that you can do about it now

B

[Outro]
