My Morning Jacket - Victory Dance Chords & Tabs

"Victory Dance"

Intro
Am (Listen to song)


Am (Cont'd)
Should I close my eyes and prophesize

Hoping maybe some day come

Should I wet the ground with my own tears

Crying over what's been done

 
Am  (Cont'd)
Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed

Even though I'll never grow

Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow

And believe in my good work

        d
My good work

        F
My good work

        Am
My good work


  Verse 2

Am (Cont'd)

Hey there, I'm flying up above

Looking down on the tired earth

And I can see, I can see potential

          d
Speaking through you, speaking to you

                     Am
From all of heaven's possibilities


      Chorus
Am (Same as intro)


Verse 3

Am (Cont'd)

Power, hey do you know how it works

Hey do you know that the meek,

They shall inherit the earth

           d
You should work, you should work


             Am
(?) than the memory

Am (Cont'd)
Should I hit the water or stay on dry land

Even though I've never swam

Take machete into the brush

Though at first there is no path

Am
Taste the war paint on my tongue

As it's dripping with my sweat

Place my gaze in the future's path

Seeing things that ain't come yet

Hope to watch the victory dance

After whole day's work is done

Hope to watch the victory dance

Hope to watch the victory dance

Over many lives to come

Hope to watch the victory dance

In the evening's setting sun

Setting sun

Setting sun
          Am

After whole day's work is done

Hope to dance the victory dance

In the evening's setting sun

Over many lives to come

Hope to dance the victory dance

In the evening's setting sun
