🎸 Nightshade chords by The Lumineers

Verse 1:
Am
Some of us love to think of life as a game
F
Others are born into royalty and can never behave
Dm             F     E    Am
Some find a freedom locking men in a cage, oh no
Am
Some priest insisted it's a test of the faith
F
And only holy devotion can keep the devils away
Dm             F    E    Am
There's only so much that a man can pray, oh no


Refrain:
    F
Oh, my love
    Dm Am
Oh, my love
      F
Spare my blood
      Dm  Am
Spare my blood

Verse 2:
Am
I saw the footprints in the white of the snow
F
I counted thousands and I was just a rider alone
Dm             F      E    Am
Eighteen degrees and eighty miles from home, oh no
Am
We built a wall to keep the devils at bay
F
A distant army was marching through the night and the day
Dm             F       E   Am
I swore an oath and with my life I would pay, oh no


Refrain:
    F
Oh, my love
    Dm  Am
Oh, my love
      F
Spare my blood


Chorus:
F           Dm
Nightshade, won't you take me away?
     Am         C
And I can hold my breath for another day
      F      Dm      Am
But it was all, it was all for the throne


Verse 3:
Am
We were surrounded and the ending was near
F
All of the sudden, a ranger arrived, a savior appeared
Dm             F     E    Am
Made it to safety, but the devil was here, oh no


Chorus:
    F
Oh, my love
F           Dm
Nightshade, won't you take me away?
     Am          C
And I can hold my breath for another day
      F      Dm       Am
But it was all, it was all for the throne
