Biting Your Tail by Iron And Wine
Biting Your Tail
STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO
E
may your eyes be wide and seeing
A
may your learn from the view where you're kneeling
E
know the fear of the world that you're feeling
B
is the fear of a slave
E
may you know how the fight was started
A
want as much for the snake as the garden
E B
wear them both like a glove
E
that you can wave
E
may your mouth betray your wisdom
A
may you get what they fail to mention
E
may your love be your only religion
B
preach it to us all
E
may you lose what you offer gladly
A
may you worship the time and it's passing
E B
stars won't ever wait for you
E
to watch them fall
C#m
we're the smoke on a burnt horizon
A
we're a boat on a tide that's rising
E
both the post and the pig you're untying
B
butcher gone for the blade
C#m
someday we may all be happy
A
someday all make a face worth slapping
E
someday we may be shocked to be laughing
B
at the way you behave
E
may your hands be strong and willing
A
may you know when to speak and to listen
E
may you find every friend that you're missing
B
there's no check in the mail
E
may you end up bruised and purple
A
know that peace is the shape of a circle
E B
round and round you go
E
biting your tail
(synth part: E A E B E)
C#m
we're the journey and the wind is whipping
A
short hands on the clock still ticking
E
both the egg and the red fox grinning
B
his belly full for the day
C#m
someday we may all want nothing
A
and all forget that we'll get whats coming
E
someday all say the world was something
B
that we just couldnt change
E
may your tongue be soft and wicked
A
know your part in the calf and the killing
E
see straight through the captain you're kissing
B
helm lose in his hand
E
may your words be well worth stealing
A
put your hand on your heart while singing
E B
choirs sick of the song
E
but they still gotta stand
