Fever Dream Chords & Tabs
Iron & Wine: Fever Dream
Album: Our Endless Numbered Days (2004)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Open G tuning: DGDGBd
Credit to Cassie (ver 1) for most of the notes. The main difference between
that tab and this one is the Open G tuning, which makes most of the chord
shapes easier.
Note: Any note played on the third fret of the b-string can also be played
open on the d-string (the tuned-down high e string). I like to alternate
between the two.

1. Some days her shape in the doorway
Will speak to me
A bird's wing on the window

Her fever dream
A language on her face

Verse (same as before):
3. Some days, like rain on the doorstep
She'll cover me
With grace in all she offers

What honest words
She can't afford to say, like
