Em And maybe when the bitterness has gone, G C Bm There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more. VERSE 3: Play the verse tab once. CHORUS: Same as before. BRIDGE: F C G We'll soon forget our parents' names, F C G Like dogs will drive the wolves away. F C And weep with fingertips opposed, G F F Like a church where nobody congregates. OUTRO VERSE: Am F G C But sweetness sings in the pasture, Am F G C We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth. Am F G C If sand and salt have the answer, Am F G C Then the act itself will be louder than the word. AmF G C And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side. AFGC AmF G C And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side. AFGC Am F G C goes on for the rest of the song Joe ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off
