The Bunkhouse Chords & Tabs
This tab is just to give you an idea and not trying to be 100% accurate.
Have fun figuring out the little details or making your own version of the song.
And if you enjoy playing this song, I really hope you already bought the record, it's worth it!

Put the chair against the handle
Am7/G
in the window light a candle
F

Am7/G E7
the chimney slowly

Am
The wind it blew the slates off
Am7/G
your prayers float through the foxglove
F
grip the iron
Am7/G E7
bed post quickly

We watched them carry the coffin

Am7/G

E7
from the well
Am
At the gathering the whole room it fell silent
Am7/G
it heckled and grew violent
F
I stood at your back
Am7/G
deep breath
E7
haystack
Am
You're a business man wrapped in a caftan
Am7/G
it's all you'll ever be
F
go count your money
Am7/G E7
I'm a painter, you're a framer
