Heavy Feathers by Jon Charles Dwyer
Heavy Feathers
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:F
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
D
I am the only
G D
Son of my mother
Bm A D
She’s always sayin “come hell or high water”
D
My grandma’s soft voice
G D
Like tattered cotton
Bm A D
Sayin “one of these days I’ll get us rich and spoiled rotten”
D G
I come from high hopes
D Bm
I come from tall truths
A D
A language spoke in hues of greener grass and wild blue
D
Wasn’t always healthy
G D Bm
Didn’t ever hurt
A D
Some things get took, some things get lost, some things never know their worth
[Chorus 1]
G
And I wonder what
D A
It makes me now
G
Blood and guts
D A G
In a city that pours its insides in the streets
D A Bm
I used to be, used to be such a breeze
G A D
I’ve let the brick make a mean wind out of me
[Bridge]
D
Where’s my belief?
G D Bm A D
[Verse 2]
D G
First time I came home
D Bm
Too much was missin'
A D
We buried our family dog in the backyard that I played in
D
Wrapped in a bath towel
G D Bm
Like heavy feathers
A D
And death was just the final thread we tied together
D G
And I had such high hopes
D Bm
But I let them tarry
A D
I thought I’d hug your neck on the day that I got married
D G
It’s too much blood now
D Bm
It’s too much death
A D
No grave I know that’s deep and wide enough to hold it
[Chorus 2]
G
And I wonder why
D A
It eats my mind
G
The last in line
D A G
No grand babe for my mother’s need
D A Bm
Cause I don’t believe, I don’t believe
G A D
I wouldn’t do what got done to me
[Bridge]
D G D
Where’s my belief?
Bm A D
Where’s my belief?
[Chorus 3]
G
One of these days
D A
I’ll have to leave
G
And I don’t wanna go
D A G
Knowin all I left behind’s a fragile ghost of song
D A Bm
I hope I’m light, hope I’m easy to carry on
G A D
Just a tune over the mount’n you follow home
G A D
Just a tune over the mount’n you follow home
