War Horse by Jenny Owen Youngs


                    War Horse 

Capo:no capo

[Intro]
Em  D  A   Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
    Em
The spirit / it moved me / it led me / to do these 
D                   A           Em
Things that I don't know how to explain 
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Em
A feather / a chalice / an imperfect / balance 
D             A               Em
Waiting to be set against the grain 
         D             A             Em
And I'll never have to go back home again 
 
 
[Chorus]
         G                          D
Take me away / I don't care where I land 
            Em                               C
Better on a war horse than in someone else's hands 
                  G                            D
Thought it was my place / to watch the country bleed 
               C            D               Em
Don't know how I became the girl who they believed 
 
 
[Verse 3]
    Em
The saints knew / they told me / what to do / I only 
D                 A                   Em
Listened well and did the things they asked 
 
 
[Verse 4]
    Em
And time moved / as time does / a flame and / what once was 
D               A              Em
Present quickly moved into the past 
        D             A              Em
And I'm certain I was never meant to last 
 
 
[Chorus]
         G                          D
Take me away / I don't care where I land 
            Em                               C
Better on a war horse than in someone else's hands 
                  G                            D
Thought it was my place / to watch the country bleed 
               C            D               Em
Don't know how I became the girl who they believed 
               C            D               Em
Don't know how I became the girl who they believed
