When We Could Chords by Nathaniel Rateliff

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
[G] _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _ _
If you call our names, [F] _ [C] we'll come rising [G] ready and primed.
[A] _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
[G] Such a sturdy face, [F] you [Ab] can tell we're aging [G] by the lines.
_ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _ _
Keep on saying how, [F] _ [C] that's sort of fine and [F] strange and low.
[C] Even if the wind does [F] cease to blow, [Fm] [C] we won't run and [G] we won't cry.
_ _ _ _ _ Look how [C] we stand _ forevermore, [C] _ _ _
[G] when we could. _ _ _ _ _
[C] Staying up and laughing all night, _ _ _ [G] when we could.
_ [Em] _ [G] _ _ Keep [C] on a smiling till [D] it's bright, [C] _ _ _
[G] when we could.
[C] _ When [G] we could, _ [C]
when [G] we could, _ [C] _ [G] when we could. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You should call it pride, [F] _ [C] you said I'd wither [G] and not grow back. _ _
_ _ _ _ It's not a fine way to go, [F] _ [C] I think we left there [G] with our pride. _ _
_ _ _ _ I hate to call out hands, [F] _ [C] pardon my way of [F] being slow.
[C] Cover me up and [F] let me go, [C] and make it as thick and as [G] dark as the night. _ _
_ _ And we [C] could laugh _ forevermore, _ _ _ [G] when we could. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] Teared up like the dogs at night, _ _ _ [G] when we could. _ _ _
_ _ And we could [C] fight and bury them all, _ _ when [G] we could.
_ [C] _
[G] When we could, _ [C] _ [G] when we could, _ [C] _
[G] when we could.
_ [C] When [G] we could, _ [C] _
[G] when we could. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
