The Captain And The Hourglass chords by Laura Marling

Capo on 1st fret!

Intro: Em

       G                Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
     G          Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
     D      Em
If I feel God judging me,
           D         Em
Well I fell into the water, and now I'm free.

  Em
My friends they don't really get me,

think I'm the only one
    G        D        C       Em
Well i sold my soul to Jesus and since then ive had no fun
    Em
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
    G       D           C       Em
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.

    Em                 D
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     Em               D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
    Em                 D
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     Em              D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

   Em
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well.
    D
You're gonna have to curse him,
       Em
Well you're gonna have to yell.
   Em
The sky and I, we've had our fights and I'm coming round to rain,
    G          D
If the rain come round and don't go out,
     C          Em
and I'll never have to speak again,

    Em                 D
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     Em               D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
   Em                 D
Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     Em              D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

   Em
The captains got his boots on and he's heading out the door,
 D                Em
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don't love me no more."
   Em
He's done with all this bullshit,

He's going back to war,
  G      D
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
   C        Em
then this is Hell for sure...


      Em                 D
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     Em               D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
    Em                 D
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     Em              D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

       G                Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
     G          Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
     D      Em
If I feel God judging me,
           D       Em
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free.

THE END
