The Drought Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

EmUnruly Bmtype of Asun,

Emwilling Bmto spare Ano one

EmFrom the Bmplains up to the Apeaks

This Emheat's stealing Bmfaith from the Aweak

Amidst the Emburning Bmbreeze A

from the Emground up through the Bmtrees A

I hear the Embirds comBmplain A

about the Emlack of the Bmrain A

AAnd it's not the same Emlife Bm A

here the Emmorning's like a Bmknife A

and the Emriver's been bone Bmdry A

where the Emday is not fond of Bmlight A

Glory to the night

Shade has been hard to find

From the plains up to the peaks

This heat's stealing faith from the weak

Amidst the burning breeze

From the ground up through the trees

I hear the birds complain about the lack of the rain

EmIt's bearing down on Cme

Emno clouds in the Csky

EmI hear the pines crack and Ccry

Em"There's no reason to Ctry."

And it's not the same life

here the morning's like a knife

and the river's been bone dry

where the day is not fond of light.

It's bearing down on me

no clouds in the sky

I hear the pines crack and cry

"There's no reason to try."
