Capo 3rd fret
Bright Eyes
Four Winds
Intro: Em, C, G, Am, G, Am, C x4
Your cEmlass, your caste, your country, sect, your nCame or your tribe
There's pGeople always dying trying to kAmeep them alive
His bGody's decomposing in coAmntainers tonight
In an abaCndoned building where
A squEmatter's made a mural of a MeCxican girl
With fGifteen cans of spray paint in a cAmhemical swirl
She's sGtanding in the ashes at the eAmnd of the world
Four winds blCowing through her hair
But when great SAmatan's gDone, the whore of AmBabyloDn
She just cCan't susGtain the pressure wChere it's plGaced
She cAmaves
Interlude: Em, C, G, Am, G, Am, C
The BEmible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the QuC'ran is mute
If you'd bGurn them all together you'd get cAmlose to the truth still
They're poGuring over sanskrit on the iAmvy league moons
While shadows leCngthen in the sun
Cast on a sEmchool of meditation built to sCoften the times
And hGold us at the center while the sAmpiral unwinds
It's knGocking over fences, crossing pAmroperty lines
Four winds, cCry until it comes
And it's the sAmong of mDan
Slouching towards AmBethlehDem
A heart just cCan't conGtain all of that eCmpty spGace
It bAmreaks, it bDreaks, (it breaks)
Interlude: Em, C, Em, C, Em, C, D
Well, I went bEmack, I rent a Cadillac, a cCompany jet
Like a nGewly orphaned refugee, reAmtracing my steps
All the Gway to Cassadega to coAmmmune with the dead
They said, "YoCu'd better look alive"
And I was oEmff to old Dakota where a geCnocide sleeps
In the blGack hills, the bad lands, the caAmlloused east
I buGried my ballast, I mAmade my peace
With four winds, leCvelling the pines
But when great SAmatan's gDone, the whore of AmBabylDon
She just cCan't reGmain with all that oCuter sGpace
She bAmreaks, she brDeaks, she caAmves, she cDaves.
End on: Em
