Ellie Goulding (born Elena Jane Goulding, 30 December 1986 in Hereford, England) is an English singer-songwriter. Having caught the public's attention in 2010 with her singles "Starry Eyed" and "Guns and Horses," British vocalist Ellie Goulding quickly rose to the top of the charts with her infectious electronic pop sound. Although she started out writing songs in a folk-inflected style, she eventually grew into a more electronic-influenced artist, touching upon dance music and ambient synth pop.
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!
Couldn't find any chords for this one so I gave it a try. I believe Ellie and Lissie only play this song live, can't tell if you'll find it on any record... Original version is by Patty Griffin.
This song is very easy, there are live versions on Youtube you can play along with to get an idea of the strumming pattern. Oh, and don't forget to mess around with your pinky on the B- and E-string a little here and then. ;)

[Intro] EmCEmC
[1st verse]
Em It's not far I can walk C Down the block To Table Talk G Close my eyes D Make the pies all day
Em Plastic cap on my hair C I used to mind Now I don't care G I used to mind Now I don't care D Cause I'm gray
[1st chorus]
CG Did I show you this picture of my nephew CG Taken at his big birthday surprise CG At my sister's house last Sunday D This is Monday and we're making pies Am I'm making pies C Making pies GDDsus4D Pies
[2nd verse]
Em Thursday nights I go and type C Down at the church With Father Mike G It gets me out D And he ain't hard to like At all
Em Jesus stares at me In my chair C With his big blue eyes And his honey brown hair G And he's looking at me Way up there D On the wall
[2nd chorus]
CG Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart CG Taken of us before the war CG Of the Greek and this Italian girl D One Sunday at the shore
CG We tied our ribbons to the fire escape C7G They were taken by the birds C7G Who flew home to the country CGD As the bombs rained on the world
[3rd verse]
Em 5am Here I am C Walking the block To Table Talk G You could cry or die D Or just make pies all day
Am I'm making pies C Making pies Am Making pies C Making pies
