intro: C G C F C G Am F C G F All that I have is a river Am E The river is always my home C F Am F Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay C G Am Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones C G C F The water sustains me without even trying C G Am The water can't drown me, I'm done F C With my dyy...ing Please help me build a small boat One that'll ride on the flow Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep I'm glad of what keeps me afloat Now deeper the water I sail And faster the current I'm in So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver The artist has run out of paint Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the big yellow sun leads me home I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow To the wind of each breath by and by

water johnny flynn and Laura Marling
Travel light
Travel Light w/ Laura Marling A cover of the song by Jeffrey Lewis and Diane Cluck Same chords repeated all the way through. F G C Am When I was an astronaut I didn't take my boots, When I was a coal miner I didn't know the news, When I was a record store I didn't have the blues, I travel light and that's the life for me. He doesn't care where else he goes, He's not gonna take any extra clothes or extra shoes to hide his feet The ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet When I go Londontown I'll stand under a rock, Until I know all the time it takes to pack a clock, Then I'll flip it over, close the key, and swallow the lock. I travel light and that's the life for me. He doesn't take his spoon or fork, He's seen too many eating in New York, He'll use his hands to pick and eat, The fruit he finds, he'll find it sweet When I was a waitress, I gave away my tips When I was a call-girl, I gave away my hips When I ran the kissing booth, I gave away my lips, I travel light and that's the life for me She lives a life like abandoned wind Elemental wife, fortune is her friend, I smile on a planet and a river made of light, she's just a pebble on a waterfall tonight When i go to Boston I stand around in jeans And save the cash for Levi’s by selling black-market baked beans Denim's what I like to wear it has durable seams I travel light and that's the life for me She just a genius without a thinking cap She never pays the rent, she's funny like that I don't know what she's on, she's here and gone Rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat Fur's and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss We'll eat all peanuts that we steal from the circus We'll count the all stars and go to sleep under the bus We'll travel light and that's the life for us We'll travel light and that's the life for us We'll travel light and that's the life for us

The dog days are over-florence and the machine
G Am Em D Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track G Am Em D Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back G She hid around corners and she hid under beds Am Em D She killed it with kisses and from it she fled G With every bubble she sank with a drink Am Em D And washed it away down the kitchen sink Chorus G The dog days are over The dog days are done Am Em D The horses are coming so you better run G Run fast for your mother run fast for your father Run for your children and your sisters and brothers Am Leave all your love and your loving behind you Em D Can't carry it with you if you want to survive G The dog days are over The dog days are done Am Em D The can you hear the horses coz here they come the pattern of chords stays the same for the whole song so just listen to it to perfect the chord changes And I never wanted anything from you Except everything you had And what was left after that too. oh. Happiness it hurt like a bullet in the mind Stuck them up drainpipes By someone who should know better than that days are gone Can you hear the horses Cuz here they come Run fast for your mother and fast for your father Run for your children for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your loving behind you Can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are gone Can you hear the horses because here they come The dog days are over The dog days are gone Can you hear the horses because here they come
