Artist: James Vincent Mcmorrow
Album: Early in the morning
Song: We Don t Eat
Tuning: Normal
I play this with a capo on 5 only because its much easier to sing! Capo placEment
is up to yourself.
Chords seEm to be perfect, only issue is the bridge, I m not 100% sure if they are
correct, but still sounds fine.
Great Tune, easy to play, enjoy!
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
if this is redEmption, why do i bother at all
theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
so i wander on, till someone else is saved
i moved to the coast, under a mountain
swam in the ocean, slept on my own
at dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
id rEmEmber all, the things my mother wrote
[Chorus]
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
never once has any man ive met been able to love
so if i were you, id have a little trust
[Verse 2]
two thousand years, ive been in that water
two thousand years, sunk like a stone
desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
trying to find, a little bit of hope
me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
so if in the future i might, need myself a saviour
i ll remember what was, written on that wall
[Chorus]
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
never once has any man ive met been able to love
so if i were you, id have a little trust
[Bridge]
am i an honest man and true
have i been good to you at all
oh im so tired of playing these games
wed just be running down
the same old lines, the same old stories of
breathless trains and, worn down glories
houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
[Chorus]
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
never once has any man ive met been able to love
so if i were you my friend
learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
