There is a second guitar, an acoustic that plays the lead. It appears as though it is
capoed on the second fret using the chords:
-
Pretty simple song, it just repeats over and over. There are a lot of simple little
leads, that I plan on adding later, but I usually never do. The chord changes aren t in the
exact spot, but they are close, and it s a super simple rhythm.
Intro:
2x
Verse:
Take the dirt from a hollow tree
The eyes of the branch, and the tears of the leaf
Build you a path where the sun don t shine
Farther from the far and wide
Chorus:
Cross the waves beneath the sky
Lay me down in the far and wide
Know that I ll be satisfied
Farther out and far and wide
Give me a girl with strong knees
Tie me a rope to the trunk of a tree
Mountains will moan, and stones will slide
Farther from the far and wide
Chorus:
Cross the waves beneath the sky
Lay me down in the far and wide
Know that I ll be satisfied
Farther out and far and wide
Tracks from the train run North and South
Cut through the hate of my parents house
Sister she cried for the very last time
I swear I ll take her far and wide
Chorus:
Cross the waves beneath the sky
Lay me down in the far and wide
Know that I ll be satisfied
Farther out and far and wide
Apples gonna fall with snakes inside
Kiss the rail and catch a ride
He ll get his before you die
Drag you down to the far and wide
Chorus:
Cross the waves beneath the sky
Lay me down in the far and wide
Know that I ll be satisfied
Farther out and far and wide
(Here is a little bridge)
Please oh please let my soul be free
And spread my ashes across the sea
Take your name off of my name
So you can marry again
Cross the waves beneath the sky
Lay me down in the far and wide
Know that I ll be satisfied
Farther out and far and wide
Farther out and far and wide
(hold)
Farther out and far
and wide
There it is, close enough for the women I date.
