TRAPEZE SWINGER - Iron & Wine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: carolinablu5
This is a tab from Iron & Wine at the Green Man Festival 08.17.2008 available for
at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGXduu293c.
This is a wonderfully composed song with very vibrant song progression and vocals. This
the best version I have found and have studied it vigorously for a cameo performance of
own within the set of a local band.
It is fundamentally different from the album version but is definitely more challenging
rewarding to play
h = hammer on

Note: repeat pattern throughout song. Sam throws in small variations throughout to mix
the monotony of the song.
C G F5
please remember me, happily
C G
by the rosebush laughing
C G F5
with bruises on my chin, the time when
C G
we counted every black car passing
Am G F5
your house beneath the hill, and up until
C G
someone caught us in the kitchen
Am G F5
with maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank
C G
a vision too removed to mention
