(Listen to the song to figure out the strum at the end of the lines)
[Verse 1]
F G
Oh, I see you in your cobra nest
Am
All dressed up in your sunday best
F G
In the opal morning light
Am
See your gun there, shining bright
Shining bright
[Verse 2]
F G
Now the storm is on it's way
Am
Coming here to break the day
Steaming rain
F G
Oh, you go shoot me down
Am
Take my halo, yolk and crown
Yolk and crown
[Chorus]
F G Am
'Cause I've been to the darkest place I know
F G Am
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
[Interlude]

(or this)
Am F F Dm
Am F Dm F
strum each chord only once, it's like the solo played as chords
[Verse 3]
F G
Now you go softly soft
Am
Picking out better bones than your own
F G
Oh, I see you creep in the dark
Am
Sticking pins into the rain
To wash away
[Chorus]
F G Am
I've been to the only place I know
It's just bones
F G Am
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
[Bridge]
F
Just bones, bones
G
bones, bones
Am
bones, bones
bones, bones
F
bones, bones
G
bones, bones
Am
bones, bones
bones, bones
[Chorus]
F G Am
So how can love bare to see you, bare to see you go alone?
F G Am
I can't bloom, this speeding heart's got the same bone as your own,
As your own
F G Am
So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below
It's just bones
F G Am
And I've been to the darkest place you know
It's just bones
[Outro]
