Laura Marling - Flicker And Fail

Capo 1st fret

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G
He took a bus to meet me
G
In a bar in a Tuscan hill
G
A sight I’d never seen
G
I believe in God still
G
But, wouldn’t be able to stop me if I feel like running away
A G
Wouldn’t be able to stop me if I didn’t want to stay

[Verse 2]
G
And the rain fell on the houses
G
And the rain fell on the trees
G
It fell its fiercest on the skulls of the willingly deceased
A
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
G A G
They put money in their hearts and God

[Verse 3]
G
Said he’d been sleeping lonely spending nights under the stars
G
Little darling, we’re all lonely we don’t all show our scars
G
This is my heart and my burden
Am7
And I would never bring you down like that
G
My heart, my burden
G
I would never bring you down with me

[Verse 4]
G
And the rain fell on the towers
G
And on the (?) swaying trees
G
And it hammered and raged on us unwillingly
G
The believers were forewarned and they ran into the storm
Gmaj7 Am7
And watched the Earth’s light flicker and fail
Gmaj7 A
They watched the Earth’s light flicker and fail
Gmaj7
Flicker and
Am7 G
Flicker and fail

[Outro]
Gmaj7 Am7
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
Gmaj7 Am7
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
Gmaj7 G
They put money in their hearts and God where their mouth is
G Am7 A G
They put money in their hearts and God
