Churlish May Johnny Flynn
Johnny uses the G bar chord (355433) for any G chords that
immediately precede an F because it's nice and easy to slide
between them. But he uses the normal G in the last two lines
the verse and does a little hammer on thing which i can't
seem to get right.
Other notable hammer-ons include: The all three fingers of the Am chord in the
verse and chorus. Plus the high e string when playing the Dm chord in the verse.
Suggestions/corrections welcome. Rate if you can be bothered ;)
Standard Tuning
Capo 5 (or wherever your voice fits... I prefer 3)
[C]I met J[F]ane in S[Am]eptember's [F]throw
[C]January's [F]grass, we let [Am]each other [F]go
[G]I met H[F]elen on [Am]March's [F]back
[G]She took my c[F]oat and she [C]stole my h[Dm]at
[Am]I met you w[G]hen the w[C]eather got [F]fine
[Am]You said 'I've got yo[G]urs if yo[C]u've got mine[F]'
And the [C]worst and [F]best of [C]all we [F]knew
Stay[Am]ed out to [F]rust in the [G]mor[F]ning d[C]ew
Didn't take long to sing our love
Was a harvest feast, was a hand to glove
When winter came you couldn't stand to sit
You just the same never burnt but lit
With a world at war and my thoughts on you
I didn't care to fall, there wasn't much to do
And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
Churlish May when the year was fair
Gone full circle when things went square
Ate my meal an un-noble beast
Left me to pay not a movable feast
Look I got nothing, dunno where I am
Got a fistful of questions, not an answer to hand
And the w[C]orst and b[F]est of [C]all we k[F]new
S[Am]tayed out to [F]rust in the [G]morn[F]ing [Am]dew
(walk-up from Am to C. Play open A string, 2nd fret A, 3rd fret A)
Morning dew
With a b[G]low me d[F]own the r[Am]oad, dead in the w[F]ood
Further from you now, then the roots from the leaves
Drunk on the wood, never seen any trees
My ore's out the water and the lake that I'm sailing
Is your dear father's daughter and it's cold and I'm ailing
Are you drowning me slowly, was the school meant to teach
Are you leaving so slowly, where's the shore, where's the beach?
And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
