I hear you call me, branches break in the wind

into something that death can't steal
F G C C/B Am7
a garden that gives, sprouts come up glowing

version 2
Tuning - Standard with Capo 3rd
The chords here are also technically labeled wrong, but the shapes are correct
when Capo 3rd-ed?....so capo 3rd and play it how it looks
I believe this song is fingerpicked or skillfully picked regardless, but these
chords are easily played with a pick.
and he connects most of the chords with hammer-ons and slides.. just listen to
song for timing/rhythm/all that other stuff
Am C F F G G C
Am C F
i hear you call me
G C
branches break in the wind
Am C F
through the leaves and concrete
G C Em Am
you're gonna grow to something that death can't steal
F G
a garden that gives
C Em Am
sprouts come up glowing
Dm G F Am
fruits of jade and golden silver trees
F G
to mark the legacy
F G Am G F G C
of a life that finally learned what this means
Am C F
the invisible choir sings
G C
you a voiceless lesson
Am C F
so youll always remember
G C Em Am
what grew out of decisions that death cant steal
F G
lives that learned to give
C Em Am
when it seemed there was nothing
Dm G F Am
oh how much more it meant to those around we go
F G
theres a rhythm soft and slow
F G Am G F G C
youll always hear the choir if you listen close
-just a note or two.... if the rapid progressions at the ends are hard (the F G Am
G F) try playing the barre chord for each so it's just up and down instead of all
over the place
the Em is not a full 022000 chord...just that first 2(on the A string) is the
important part as it kind of makes the transition between C and Am
for that matter the Am after the Em has a low E in it as well (open on low
E)...basically there are extra notes thrown in all over the place so listen to the
song 346 times and improv it however it suits you...
