Block of Wood
D Grab your heart, we need to leave G D There's no time to cry or grieve A7 For the fallen family tree D Rise above the flooding plain G D Crouching low to duck the flame A7 Generations against the grain D Up in smoke and down the drain D If the fire, if the flood G D Burns the tree and thins the blood G A7 If your tears don't wanna dry I can help you D Cry, through the night G D Through the night and day, G A7 I can't take your pain away D But I can help you cry. D Cut the branch from this tree G D Carve a place for you and me A7 A wooden seat that we can string D From a branch where we can swing We'll take this block of wood G D Carve it down and sand it good A7 When finished, it will be D A souveneir of the family tree D If the fire, if the flood G D Burns the tree and thins the blood G A7 If your tears don't wanna dry I can help you D Cry, through the night G D Through the night and day, G A7 I can't take your pain away But I can help you D Cry, through the night G D Through the night and day, G A7 I can't take your pain away But I can try. G D A7 But God, help me please G D A7 Come save the family tree G D A7 My friends are broken all G D A7 With falling off the wall D In the ash I found an ember G D Something warm to help remember G A7 Block of wood that used to be G D A strong, tall family tree G A7 A strong, tall family tree Blowin' in the breeze. D Cry, through the night G D Through the night and day, G A7 I can't take your pain away But I can help you D Cry, through the night G D Through the night and day, G A7 I can't take your pain away D But I can help you cry.
The War Was In Color
D I see you've found a box of my things Infantries, tanks and smoldering airplane wings These old pictures are cool, tell me some stories Was it like the old war movies? Sit down son, let me fill you in G D Where to begin? Let's start with the end A7 D This black and white photo don't capture the skin G D From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done A7 D Trust me grandson, the war was in color D From shipyard to sea, from factory to sky From rivet to rifle, from boot camp to battle cry I wore the mask up high on a daylight run That held my face in its clammy hand Crawled over coconut logs and corpses in the coral sand G D Where to begin? Let's start with the end A7 D This black and white photo don't capture the skin G D From the shock of a shell to the memory of smell A7 D If red is for Hell, the war was in color D I held the canvas bag over the railing The dead released, with the ship still sailing Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers Into a blanket of dead, and as the night grows colder In a window back home, a blue star is traded for gold G D Where to begin? Let's start with the end A7 D This black and white photo don't capture the skin G D When metal is churned, and bodies are burned A7 D Victory earned, the war was in color G D Now I lay in my grave at age twenty-one A7 D Long before you were born, before I bore a son G What good did it do? D A7 Well hopefully for you, a world without war D A life full of color G D Where to begin? Let's start with the end A7 D This black and white photo never captured my skin G D Once it was torn from an enemy thorn A7 D Straight through the core, the war was in color G D Where to begin? Let's start with the end A7 D This black and white photo never captured my skin G D From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done A7 D Trust me grandson, the war was in color A7 D Trust me grandson, the war was in color A7 D Trust me grandson, the war was in color
Grey Sky Eyes
D Grey sky, always in your eye G A7 D Where is the girl behind the cloud? D Grey sky, always floating by G A7 D But i only peek when I'm allowed G A7 D You welcomed me in and your veil is so thin G A7 D But the mystery continues to grow G A7 D You say you must realize that my grey sky eyes G A7 D Neither rain nor they glow now you know D G So I, I'll try to not act so surprised A7 D I'll feel my way I'll underplay D G A7 D All my curiosity and hide all the questions in my skin G A7 D You welcomed me in and your veil is so thin G A7 D But the mystery continued to grow G A7 D You say you must realize that my grey sky eyes G A7 D Neither rain nor they glow now you know G A7 D They neither rain nor they glow now you know D Grey sky I think I changed my mind G A7 D I find no need to pretend D G A7 D Grey sky would you allow me to be so into you my friend G A7 D Could you welcome me with your veil that's so thin G A7 D As your mystery continues to grow G A7 D You say you must realize that my grey sky eyes G A7 D Neither rain nor they glow now you know G A7 D They neither rain nor they glow now you know G A7 D They neither rain nor they glow now you know G A7 D They neither rain nor they glow now you know
Let Your Troubles Roll By
A D Love endures, it clings away A D When asked to leave, it begs to stay A D Like the perfect song at imperfect times A D It's the way the chords struck with the rhymes D So let your troubles roll by A He knows he can help himself D He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf A And someone somewhere loses her son D Before her own sunset is set and done A And she dreams of sunflowers bent over D Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado A But then plays her life back in slow motion D To keep in touch with that raw emotion A In the night crushed empty can D Olive Oyl's waiting for her man A To come in from the fight that will change their life D For good this time A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D Let your troubles roll by A Like new years eve tonight's underway D But tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day A 'cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams D An undone war still wages and stings A You fear the year will blow like a breeze through D A A rainbow you swear it's there but you can't grab a hold So you sit and cry and wonder why, why? A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D Let your troubles roll by A So many cities and windows and lives and D through each one there's a soul that strives to survive A So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine D The day is alive and that's why I cry A It's a new year toast, grab your list to conspire D The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire A You've come far and though you're far from the end D You don't mind where you are 'cause you know where you've been A Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor D Like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore A With nothing of note but the old captain's coat D And a burning boat you just sank with your salty A D Tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by A D Let your troubles roll by
