Follaton Wood Chords by Ben Howard

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, you screamed hallelujah, darling, star-glowed all the sleeping starlings [Ab] on the wire
_ [Eb] _ _
As we walked up the footpath through the fields, how the rain did reveal your heart
_ _ [Bb] _
[Eb] And the rope swing from the balance held the weight, shadows fall and a cold wind blows
_ [Ab] _ And [Eb] you said, aw, maybe we're just lost souls here, maybe you're everybody's gold
_ _ _ _ Oh, but we were _ young, _ oh, oh, we were young
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Still don't, don't you, _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
that rope you tied _ around [Ab] your neck
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ Don't free your darling, _ oh, oh, oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ don't free your darling, oh, oh, _ _ oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ oh
And it took them three days to [Gm] find your tired [Eb] torchlights and [Ab] door hooks and _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] Oh, they led you down from the highest branches, cold eyes and [Ab] frozen arms _
_ And [Eb] my, my, my, your beauty was so dumbfounding, lace white dress and your hair as [Ab] long as frolicking would.
_ _ _ [Eb] And the whole town just stood there crying, looking at the darkness for [Ab] something wholesome and good.
_ Oh, [Eb] _ _ good. _
_ _ Oh, oh, [Ab] oh. _ _
_ _ [Eb] Oh, good. _ _
_ _ Oh, oh, oh. _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ Still [Eb] don't, don't you _ [Ab] forget _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] that rope you [Eb] tied around your [Ab] neck. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Don't [Eb] free it, darling.
_ Oh, oh, [Ab] oh.
_ _ _ _ Oh, [Eb]
don't free it, darling.
Oh, oh, _ _ [Ab] oh. Oh, good. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ Morning white mist came in across the plains, blue skies and rain. _
[Ab] _ [Eb] _ Oh, and it was the strangest day, people taking cover, people hoping. _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ You would have left your _ heart.
_ Oh, oh, oh.
_ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] Oh, you would have left your _ _ heart.
_ Oh, oh, [Ab] oh. _ _ _
[Eb] _ You would have left your heart. _ _ _
_ Oh, oh, [Ab] oh. _ _ _
_ You would [Eb] have left your heart. _ _
_ Oh, [Ab] oh, oh. _ _ _
_ [Eb] You would have left your heart.
Oh. _
