Chord Biting Your Tail by Iron And Wine

song : biting your tail artist : iron and wine album : walking far from home single 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
