Chords for Colin Meloy -Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) - live at Newport Folk Festival July 2013

_ Performers ask me if I have any advice for them.
I tell them to make forgetting the lyrics to your song part of your charm.
_ And also to surround yourself by very capable, mature, and sweet _ fellow bandmates.
And I'd like to welcome those guys. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] And Laura Veers.

[G] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [B] So I ran into these guys on the way [A] here.
I _ _ _ _ [D] also ran into Laura.
I had no idea she [G#] was going to be here.
So it was all [A] a fanboy thing.
Portland family. _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [C] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] Heart, palm, tree, [Am] chung, gang, bee, banging [G] at his sweetheart, left [A] behind.
_ _ [C] _ I know [A] some of these will [C] paralyze.
_ He's [A] a heart, _ _ [C] _ heart, heart, [Am] heart, heart.
_ He's [C] a heart, heart, heart, heart, [A] heart.
_ _ _ [C] Look for me [Am] when the sunlight swallows [C] things upon the birch [A] pine.
_ _ [G] You are in the crown [A] of all family, full [Bm] power to _ _
[A] survive.
_ _ [Em] Heart, [G] heart, heart, [Am] heart, heart, [C] _ _ _ _
[A] heart.
_ _ [C] Heart, heart, heart, [A] _ _ heart, [C] _ heart, [A] heart.
_ _ _ _ But when [C] the sun _ [A] breaks to [Em] no more bullets [G] and battle [A] breaks,
_ Will [C] you make a [A] claim for I will [F] be home, _ _ _ [G] I will be home then.
I will [F] be home, _ _ _ I will [G] be home _ _ _ _ [C] then.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _
[C] I was a girl, [Am] how the hills of Oconee [C] made us seem to fear [A] the end. _
[C] A bear hit the fair [A] when our eyes caught, careless [C] got my heart right, pierced [A] by a bend. _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[C] So did you see [A] all the blood and the [C] gnasses, all the bellies and the bones [A] and the bile. _ _
[C] I lingered here [Am] with the plank spirit [C] and I, a big [A] whip child.
_ [C] _
Heart, heart, _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [A] heart, heart, heart, _ _
[C] _ _ heart, heart, [A] heart, heart, heart, heart.
[E] _ _
_ But when [C] the sun [A] breaks to no [C] more bullets [G] and battle [A] breaks,
Then will [C] you make a [A] claim for I will [F] be home then, I will [G] be home, _ _ _ I will [F] be home then, _ I will [G] be home. _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ The stems and bones of [A] stone and walls, true, [G] _ _
keep me from [F] you.
The _ scale of skin, dissolved [E] to puke, _
[G] keep me from [C] you. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ Oh my love, [Am] our bodies may be [D] parted, though our skin may not [A] touch skin.
_ [D] _ Look for me with the [Am] sun bright sparrow, I will come on the breath of the wind.
You sing along.
[D] Ah, ah, [Am] ah, ah, _ ah, ah, [D] ah, _ ah, [Am] ah, ah.
And again.
[D] Ah, ah, ah, ah, [Am] ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, [D] ah.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Hello there. _
[E] I'm one of these guys, Jenny Conley.
[N] Good fun. _
_ John Banjo, Spider Moen and Nate Cleary. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Here just hanging around, _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ it all comes back [N] pretty quickly.
