Gregory Alan Isakov - The Stable Song Chords & Tabs
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Stable Song Chords
This is my first so if its messy I apologize.
Here's the gist:
C C C f7
C C g Am x2 for the verse x2 in between verses and chorus
f7 C f7 Am
C G F7 Am x 2 for the chorus
Em Am C f7 C f7 x2 for the other part
Listen to the song for the hammer ons
Capo on the 2nd fret or where ever you feel comfortable singing
Verse 1:
C C C f7
Remember when our songs were just like prayer.
C C G Am
Like gospel hymns that you call in the air.
C C C f7
Come down, come down, sweet reverent
C C G Am
Until my simple heart sound ring.
C C C f7 C C G Am
And ring.

Chorus:
f7 C f7 Am
Ring like silver, ring like gold.
C G f7 Am
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio.
f7 C f7 Am
Ring like clear day wedding bells,
C G f7 Am
In the belly of the beast or the sword that fell.
C C C f7 C C G Am
I'll never tell.
Bridge:
Em Am
They come to me, clear and cold.
C C C f7 C C G Am
Some say
Em Am
The Wives of Earl, spinning weaves
C C C f7 C C G Am
At that machine.
Verse 2:
I've gone crazy, couldn't you tell.
I threw stones at the stars but the whole sky fell.
Now I'm covered up in straw belly, up on a table.
And I drank and sang and passed in the stable.
Mm-hmm...
C C C f7
C C G Am
Em Am C f7 C f7 x2
Verse 3:
That tall grass grows high and brown.
Well I drank you straight in the muddy ground.
And you sent me back to where I roam.
Well I cursed and I cried but now I know.
Oh, now I know...
Verse 4:
And I ran back to that hollow again,
The moon was just a sliver back then,
And I ached for my heart like some tin man.
When it came, oh, it beat, and it boiled, and it rang.
Oh it's ringing.
Chorus:
Ring like crazy, ring like hell.
Turn me back into that wild-haired gale.
Ring like silver, ring like gold.
Turn these diamonds straight back into gold.
Turn these diamonds straight back into gold.
It's as right as I could get it without the other instruments or Gregory sitting there with me.
