Version 1 Version 4------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Passig Afternoon – Iron & Wine ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: puderjunge Email: Tuning: Standard, Capo 2nd This is a correction of a tab I found here. I felt like the Em didn't do the job for the harmonics. [Verse 1] C D G C There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon G D C D Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon C D G C And she chose a yard to burn, but the ground remembers her G D C D Wooden spoons, her children stir her bougainvillea blooms [Verse 2] C D G C There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days G D C D Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made C D G C And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings G D C D Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves [Verse 3] C D G C There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass G D C D Springtime calls her children 'till she lets them go at last C D G C And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring G D C D Somewhere near her misplaced jar of bougainvillea seeds [Verse 4] C D G C There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all G D C D Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls C D G C But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns G D C D Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned [Verse 5] C D G C There are names across the sea, only now I do believe G D C D Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me C D G C But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know G D C D A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone
