A Long Year Cifras

[Intro]
C G Am G
 
[Verse 1]
C         G                Am         G
Love, I know, it's been a long, long year
  C      G             Am            G
What we lived in the flicker of the light
   C          G             Am              G
I hung those feathers like hair upon your shoulder
 C          G            Am             G
Best not untethered our bodies to the ground
 
[Chorus]
         F                   G
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
  Am            G
Cradled by the dawn,
    F             G
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
   Am                 G
A deer trail in the snow.

C G Am G
 
[Verse 2]
C            G            Am         G
I keep the static playing on the radio,
 C          G
You move through the room,
        Am      G
With a misty halo.
 
[Chorus]
         F                   G
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
  Am            G
Cradled by the dawn,
    F             G
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
   Am                 G
A deer trail in the snow.
     F               G
And we unfold to the edge of it,
    Am               G
A crimson sky hangs low,
   F                G
A rush of blood, a hammer blow,
    Am                G
A deer trail in the snow.

Am G Am G
Am G Am G
 
[Chorus]
         F                   G
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope,
  Am            G
Cradled by the dawn,
    F             G
The afterglow, a mothers' love,
   Am                 G
A deer trail in the snow.
     F               G
And we unfold to the edge of it,
    Am               G
A crimson sky hangs low,
   F                G
A rush of blood, a hammer blow,
    Am                G
A deer trail in the snow.
 
[Outro]
C G Am G
 
C         G                Am         G
Love, I know, it's been a long, long year
