Shedding The Deadwood by Woods Of Ypres
Shedding The Deadwood
TUNING: C# Standard (Down a Step and a Half)

Intro:
C G Em/Esus2
C G Em/Esus2 D x3
C G Em/Esus2
It’s no wonder I’ve felt so tired
C G Em/Esus2 D5
I’ve witnessed the careless all running past me
C G Em/Esus2
While I’ve been told to ignore my desires
C G Em/Esus2 D5
And grow numb with understanding
Am
I walk through theses woods
G
I carry this deadwood
Am G D
I am determined to see this through
Am G
Driven only by the guilt and the shame of giving up
Am G D
I must complete what I set out to do - For you
C G Em/Esus2
It stayed on a shelf made of my arms
C G Em/Esus2 D5
They had grown strong from giving support
C G Em/Esus2
I knew that my arms could hold out forever
C G Em/Esus2
It was my mind that’d grow tired
Am G
It’s been so long since I have questioned
Am G D
What it is that I really want
Am G
Instead I follow your directions
Am G
As you lead me on
D C
I can’t use it to build my home
Em D C D
It will not fulfill my desires
Em D C D
Some wood can be used to help build a life
Em D C D Em
This wood will be used for building a fire
Em D5 Csus2 Dsus2 Em
Esus2 Em
Why carry this deadwood with me…
Esus2 Em
…when were I’m going there will be living trees
C B5 C B5 A5 B5
Now close enough to carry it all to the end
C D5
But throwing it all to the ground instead
Solo: Em D C5 C5/B C5/A
Em
This bundle of deadwood
D
The pieces they fall
C5 C5/B
Corners indent the soil and accumulate on one another
C5/A
Tumble down and pile up
Em D
It awkwardly spills like myself at a time
C5
Like the time it had killed
C5/B C5/A
Like every moment after it was collected and held
Bm D A E
I’d give up all that I started
Bm D A E
To pursue all that I wanted
Bm D A E
I may arrive empty handed
Bm D A E
But at least I will arrive
