Ben Howard - Soldiers
Not exactly how Ben plays it, but a nice alternative to strum along without retuning.
Standard Tuning, No Capo
[Intro]
C F (x5)
[Verse 1]
C
Oh you watch me steady, you
F
Watch me with such a quiet sincerity
C
And you hold me heavy, you
F
Hold me like I was born to be held
C
And the light comes in here, yeah
F
Morning my dear, and the restlessness of arms
C
And we lie here longing now
F
Words were ours that we'll never be harmed
C F
'Cause you are dear to me
C F
Yeah you are dear
[Chorus]
Am G
But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
Am G
If this was how it was meant to fall, no
Am G
If this goes wrong again
F
Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
C
F
And just go
C F
And just go
[Verse 2]
C
I made you breakfast, oh
F
Soldiers to guard and keep you company
C
When I'm goin' away again
F
All faces and falsities of new friends
C
Yeah there's fires here to burn, and
F
Timbers left to learn in this young heart
C
And honey please don't think I don't miss you, no
F
Don't think I don't think of you when we're apart
C F
Because I do dear, I do
C F
Yeah I do dear
[Chorus]
Am G
But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
Am G
If this was how it was meant to fall, no
Am G
If this goes wrong again
F
Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
C
F
And just go
