[Intro]

[Verse]
D
Sky was turning pink
G A
Day began to think
G A D
It won’t be long till night is taking over
D
Coming with the winds
G A
The trees began to bend
G A D
And the August heat gave way to mid-October
[Chorus]
D A
Take the timber and turn it into gold
D G
Because the yearlings are no more in the field
D A
Save the branches and the stories you been told
D G
Because the ones who were no more are still here
A G
Apprentice to ghosts I’m learning to be
A G D
Apprentice to ghosts and dead leaves
[Instrumental]
D G A G A D
[Verse]
D
The high beams start to shine
G A
Illuminate the eyes
G A D
Of the possum and the white tail on the shoulder
D
Light off into the night
G A
Like a sparrow taking flight
G A D
Starry skies just echo what he told her
[Chorus]
D A
Take the timber and turn it into gold
D G
Because the yearlings are no more in the field
D A
Save the branches and the stories you been told
D G
Because the ones who were no more are still here
A G
Apprentice to ghosts I’m learning to be
A G D
Apprentice to ghosts and dead leaves
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Bm A
Just like water to the seed
G D
It provides you everything you need
Bm A
And you’re running from the house
G
But no screams are in your mouth
[Chorus]
D A
Take the timber and turn it into gold
D G
Because the yearlings are no more in the field
D A
Save the branches and the stories you been told
D G
Because the ones who were no more are still here
A G
Apprentice to ghosts I’m learning to be
A G D
Apprentice to ghosts and dead leaves
A G
Apprentice to ghosts I’m learning to be
A G D
Apprentice to ghosts and dead leaves
