Gregory Alan Isakov - Red And Gold

lyrics from

intro : C F

C F C
meet me tonight where the sunlight falls to shadows

F C Am G
and the wind whispers words that were once unsaid

C F C
i’ll be there down by the river

F C C/B Am
chasing after laughter that you and i once shared

F C

C F C
take me back 20 miles a west

F C Am G
where i first saw the moonlight shine upon your dress

C F C
and i’ll be there down by the field

F C C/B Am
underneath the wild wood and that crows crooked tree

F C

chorus :
Am F C G
there was blues in the shoes of my traveling songs
Am F C G
against the green of these sunny sunny hills

Am F C G
i couldn’t shake all the smoke of these ghost town grays

Am F C
and there was you with crimson running through your veins

verse ( same chords ) :
please see for me that the garden keeps on yielding
and the house that we built keeps you from the cold
and follow those trails
those trails of broken branches
and leave my ashes there for dancing beneath the red and gold

chorus :
Am F C G
there was blues in the shoes of my traveling songs
Am F C G
against the green of these sunny sunny hills

Am F C G
i couldn’t shake all the smoke of these ghost town grays

Am F C
and there was you with crimson running through your veins

verse :
C F C
shake that apple tree so i can lay you in the orchards
F C Am G
watch the sky and the clouds go past and drift on through the pine
C F C
talk about the days how the good ones turned to hard ones
F C Am G
but damn damn damn that ticking hand of time

chorus :
Am F C G
there was blues in the shoes of my traveling songs
Am F C G
against the green of these sunny sunny hills

Am F C G
i couldn’t shake all the smoke of these ghost town grays

Am F C
and there was you with crimson running through your veins

Am F C
and there was you with crimson running through your veins
