The Tallest Man On Earth - Bright Lanterns

capo on 6 to sound like album version . these are basic chords , but picking can be worked
out if you listen the the track a bit .

intro C Am F G

verse
C Am
well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after ,
F G
and memories of gold on the run , flying around ,
C Am
was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty ,
F G
a vision of a mountain you say , so where did it go?

bridge
G7 Am F G
it was light and i held it like a child to be saved
G7 Am F
from the fires and from the falling down satellites
G
but still wondering

chorus
C F C Am
“damn you always treat me like a stranger , mountain
Em Am F G
though you’ve seen the shadow between the city and what is mine ,
C F C Am
and fallen kids all rising men among their logs , but leavers ,
Em Am F G
suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles ,
G C
it’s only what these kids will haul around . ”

C Am F G

verse
C Am
well there’s a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers ,
F G
and medicine for balancing things , like seeing your ghosts ,
C Am
so thank god we’re bright , said the lanterns brother ,
F G
cause i don’t know a thing about boats or the land i see

bridge
G7 Am F G
it was day and i stood there once again climbing quick
G7 Am F G
when i knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering
but he said

chorus
C F C Am
“damn you always treat me like a mountain , stranger
Em Am F G
though i have never seen your shadows or fading lights ,
C F C Am
i’m just a rock that you’ll be picking up through all your ages ,
Em Am F G
always believing there’s a canyon for every blind ,
G C
it’s only what these kids will haul around . ”

C Am F G
