Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
E A
Why don't we, go slow below the valley clouds
C#m A B A
Our edges worn round and sacred now
E A
All in time, all promises were not the same
C#m A B A
We left flowers in the field and our tears were plain
[Bridge 1]
C#m A
Bend to the wind, it'll baptize your skin
E B
Until your music is tender
C#m A
Tender as trees for the truth we believe
E B
Its the wind we remember
[Chorus 1]
E
We were overcome
A E
Spinning in the wheels hitting bottom in the well spring mud
A C#m
Crying to the cold until we felt the sun
A E B A
Home was up a hill but our weary legs could run-
E
When we closed our eyes
A E
We could see the serpent and the savior laying side by side
A C#m
Heaven was a corner where we tried to hide
A E B A E
Our running will be long and our river would be wild
[Verse 2]
E A
Feel this flag, lets ring another freedom bell
C#m A B A
Our backs were to the sound but its sermon held
E A
All things wild, draw cups until the waters cold
C#m A B A
Our memories are Christ and our hearts are clothes
[Bridge 2]
C#m A
Bend to the wind, it'll baptize our skin
E B
Until our music is tender
C#m A
Tender as trees for the tears when we leave
E B
It's the wind we'll remember
[Chorus 2]
E
We'll be overcome
A E
Spinning in the wheels hitting bottom in the wellspring mud
A C#m
Crying to the cold until we feel the sun
A E B A
Home is up a hill where our weary legs will run-
E
When we close our eyes
A E
See the serpent and her favorite savior laying side by side
A C#m
Every heaven only you and I can find
A E B A E
Our running will be long and river will be wild
[Bridge]
E A E A C#m E A E B A
Wild
[Verse 3]
E A
Bells come back, we'll name a star we know all night
C#m A B A
What valley is our claim when our coin is sky
