SONG: Half Acre
BAND: Hem
ALBUM: Rabbit Songs - 2005 (Track 3)
-------------------------------
Standard Tuning
When I listen to closely to the only other version of this tab I could find, it sounds
but not spot-on in some major spots. I think these chords work better. And I'm not sure
the Dm chord is ever even used.
An effortlessly perfect song. The kind you can even enjoy with your mum.
AmFCAC
I am holding half an acre
AmFCAC
Torn fromthemap of Michigan
AmFCAC
And folded in this scrap of paper
BbFC
Is the land I grew in
AmFCAC
Think of every town you've lived in
AmFCAC
Every room you lay your head
AmFCAC
And what is it that you remember
BbFCAm
Do you carry every sadness with you
BbFCAm
Every hour your heart was broken
BbFCAm
Every night the fear and darkness
BbF
Lay down with you
AmFCAC
A man is walking on the highway
AmFCAC
A woman stares out at the sea
AmFCAC
And light is only now just breaking
BbFCAm
So we carry every sadness with us
BbFCAm
Every hour our hearts were broken
BbFCAm
Every night the fear and darkness
BbF
Lay down with us
AmFCAC
But I am holding half an acre
AmFCAC
Torn fromthemap of Michigan
AmFCAC
And folded in this scrap of paper
BbFCAm
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
BbFCAm
Every burden taken from me
BbFCAm
Every night my heart unfolding
Bb F (ends on C)
My home
