Chords for Emily Barker - Ropes - Songs From The Shed

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Hello, my name's Emily Barker and [N] I am just off Junction 20 off the M5 down near Bristol
in a shed and I'm singing some songs from the shed.
The first one that I'm going to
do is called Ropes and it's off our new album called Almanac.
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _
[Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Dm] _ In the month of [G] May,
[C] your past [Gm] began [C] to bust [Dm] open its [C] graves
In the [Dm] month [C] of [Dm] May
_ And our love became
[G] a dance [Gm] floor for [C] your demons [Dm] and mistakes
[C] Our [Dm] love [C] [Dm] became
[F] and truth [C] it went the way [Dm] of thieves
It stole [Am] your soul from under our [Dm] feet
[C] _ _ [Dm] _
[C] _ [Dm] _ _ By the month of June
[G] I [Gm] was [C] [Dm] tiptoeing round your [C] gloom
By the month of [Dm] June
_ So I took my [G] light
and [A] I shone [Gm] upon [C] your hiding [Dm] places
[C] bright with [Dm] all [C] my [Dm] light
[F] But the woods were old and [C] you were buried deep
and [Bb] I could [Am] not persuade the dark [Dm] to leave _ _ _
[D] _ My heart [Am] could not hold it [C] any [D] closer
_ nor [Am] bend any more [C] than it [D] did
With ropes we set the [Am] sail [C] and threads we lined
[Bb] Thank you for the good [Gm] [Am] times
and [C] thank you [Dm] for the bad
By the month of June [A] I was when [Dm] all [C] my strength [Dm] began to die
[C] By the month [G] [C] of [Dm] July
And the only thing I hadn't [G] tried was to pull your [Dm]
[C] conscience [Dm] close to me and [C] cry
That one I [Dm] hadn't [C] [Dm] tried
[F] But my tears [C] were like the dew in spring [Dm] and to [Am] you
they did not [Dm] mean a thing _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ [Am] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Bb] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ My [Am] _ _
_ [C] [D] heart could _ not [Am] hold it any closer
nor bend any more [C] than it did
[D] With ropes we [Am] set the sail and [C] threads we [Bb] lined
Thank you for the good [Am] times
and thank [C] you [Dm] for the bad _ _
_ _ _ The month of August saw [C] us leave [Gm] behind [C] a love [Dm] we swore we'd [C] keep
A love we [Dm] keep
And I can't afford no [C] hope
But I do wish that you'd find yourself [Dm] through [C] _ losing [Dm] [C] me
[Dm] [F] And I will rave and flutter [C] with a broken [Am] wing
[Bb] And mend me through [G] [Am] this [C] song
I'll _
_ _ [Am] _ [Dm] _ _ [C] sing
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
