Big Thief - Forgiver (Live)

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G Am C
(x2)

[Chorus]
G Am C
There’s a black crow flying up the river
G Am C
It’s a long way back downhill
G Am C
Will the silence be forgiver?
G Am C
Maybe time will tell

[Verse 1]
G Am C
Your daddy wants you to love him
G Am C
Wants you to love a man
G Am C
If you keep your arms around me
G Am C
It could ruin the plan
G Am C
So you draw a line between us
G Am C
When to stop and when to start
G Am C
We come together
G Am C
And then you pull us apart

[Chorus]
G Am C
There’s a black crow flying up the river
G Am C
It’s a long way back downhill
G Am C
Will the silence be forgiver?
G Am C
Maybe time will tell

[Verse 2]
G Am C
Chicago couldn’t hold you
G Am C
New York City, your childhood home
G Am C
California
G Am C
You found a place to live alone
G Am C
And your mamma wants you to hold hеr
G Am C
She wants you to take her hand
G Am C
Talk to hеr
G Am C
She’ll come to understand

G Am C
But because of fear, because of fear you draw the line between us
G Am C
You say when to stop and when to start
G Am C
We come together
G Am C
And then you take us apart
G Am C
And your daddy, your daddy he wants you to love him
G Am C
By loving a man
G Am C
And if you, if you keep your arms around me
G Am C
It could ruin the plan

[Chorus]
G Am C
There’s a black crow flying up the river
G Am C
It’s a long way back downhill
G Am C
Will the silence be forgiver?
G Am C
Maybe time will tell

[Bridge]
G Am C
