Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
When listening to the song, the chords are slightly off-beat with the words, which
is why a lot of them are displayed between the words themselves. During the
chorus, the strumming pattern differs slightly here, sort of like going from 3/4
time to 6/8 time, but listening to the song as you play will help you figure it
out. Also, I like playing this song with a capo on the 5th fret, but it still
sounds fine without it. :)
Intro: F C G x2
Verse:
F C G
Last night I dreamed we'd found a stand of trees
F Am G
framing a pond and a field in between
Dm Am G
And with a hammer and a blade and our four hands
F E
here's what we made
F C G
The logs we peeled and stacked in a ring
F Am G
and then we crowned it, our tiny house, with tin
Dm Am G F
And by the fire, flickering bronze and gold across your face
E G
I heard you say
Chorus:
C F G
It may not be a grand parade of snow capped peaks, oooh
C F G
no river silver-backed crashing through, oooh
C F Em
but we have our black-haired babes running free
Dm G
through the woods, oooo
Solo (same as verse):
F C G
F Am G
Dm Am G F E
Verse:
F C G
Squirrels in the rafters, wrens in the eaves
F Am G
red dirt neath our nails, orange stains on our knees
Dm Am G F E G
blackberries in June down the path without our shoes
Chorus:
C F G
It may not be a grand parade of snow capped peaks, oooh
C F G
no river silver-backed crashing through, oooh
C F Em
but we have our black-haired babes running free
Dm G
through the woods, oooo
Outro:
F C G
F Am G
(repeat until end)
