Of MONSTERS AND MEN
YOUR BONES
here is a basic version of this song...
capo 8
Am C
In the spring we made a boat
Am C
Out of feathers, out of bones.
Am C
We set fire to our homes,
Am C
Walking barefoot in the snow.
Am C
Distant rhythm of the drum
Am C
As we drifted towards the storm.
Am C
Baby lion lost his teeth,
Am C
Now they're swimming in the sea.

Am C
Troubled spirits on my chest
Am C
Where they laid to rest.
Am C
The birds all left my tall friend,
Am C
As your body hit the sand.
Am C
Million stars up in the sky
Am C
Formed a tigers eye
Am C
That looked down on my face,
Am C
Out of time and out of place.
F
So hold on,
F Am
Hold on to what we are,
F Am Am
Hold on to your heart.
Am C
Awaken by the sound of a screaming owl.
Am C
Chasing leafs in the wind,
Am C
Going where we've never been.
Am C
Said goodbye to you my friend,
Am C
As the fire spread.
Am C
All that's left are your bones
Am C
That will soon sink like stones.
Instrumental- Am C (x 4)
F
So hold on,
F Am
Hold on to what we are,
F Am
Hold on to your heart.
