The Landlord by Johnny Flynn
The Landlord
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Cm Bb
I met the landlord, I kept my soul
Cm
And in of a man he was ashen and coal
Bb
Spoke quick, confusing, burdened me up
Cm
Left me for hollow when he'd had his sup
Ab Cm G
[Verse 1]
Cm Bb
I bore all his load til the day that we met
Cm
And one glimpse of you bent the load from my fret
Bb
To my frown, to my stern, and then rocking me by
Cm
And a game and a cheer, on the earth, in the sky
Ab Cm
[Chorus]
Bb Ab
So said I to the landlord
Cm Bb Ab
"I'll not see thee here"
Cm Bb Ab
And I'll wait for his answer
Cm G
[Verse 2]
N.C Cm Bb
Til the load wasn't there and it never had been
Cm
And all was before was so distant a dream
Bb
Til I saw in my friend what had once been my foe
Cm
And the terrible landlord had all in his tow
[Verse 3]
Ab Cm Bb
In his wake and the call of his burning black ship
Cm
And the wind it was blown from his proud blackened lips
Bb
And I with my bellows cast clouds through the sky
Cm
So that his awful flames, they might moisten and die
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Ab Cm Bb
And then I with a light shone on that which was there
Cm
As in light I did nothing, as in days I did fare
Bb
And so days in my ears and days all around
Cm
Proving death to the landlord and all he abounds
Bb
And the night she shone, too, until all that was now
Cm
Had been hoisted for viewing in all of the crowd
Bb
I was glad in the light that crept twixt new and old
Cm
And then polished with all, and so tender so bold
[Chorus]
Ab C Bb Ab
So said I to the landlord
Cm Bb Ab
"I'll not see thee here"
Cm Bb Ab
And I'll wait for his answer
Cm G
[Verse 5]
Cm Bb
So meek in that moment, thee in error til all
Cm
Of my friends and their friends saw in joy their loads fall
Bb
They fell in they fell out, they fell near they fell far
Cm
They gave all in a shout and put all to the stars
Bb
Lifting them as one load, such a burdensome thing
Cm
Troubling nothing that lives now, no and nothing it seems
Bb
Nothing that dances, nothing that's moved
Cm
In the old spinning circle of all that we proved
[Chorus]
Ab C Bb Ab
So said I to the landlord
Cm Bb Ab
"I'll not see thee here"
Bb Ab
And I'll wait for his answer
Ab C Bb Ab
So said I to the landlord
Cm Bb Ab
"I'll not see thee here"
Bb Ab
And I'll wait for his answer
Cm Bb Ab
Though I wake in fear
Cm G
