Butterfly Bones Darren Hanlon
Darren Hanlon - Butterfly Bones
Tabbed by Kate
Tuning: Standard
Capo on 5th
[C]When one year ends and another b[F]egins and the sk[C]y is a shower of sparks
[C]With your skinny girls arms with[G] the hairs on their ends like exclamation marks
[C]Well I admit I was scared, I fel[F]t unprepared if [C]I need you tell me where you'll be
[C]You said “I[F]t's not [C]surprisi[F]ng, just[C] look to[G] the hor[C]izon, it's the circle in the middle is me”
[C]A week in the hospital, always s[F]ick when you wer[C]e little, you were brittle like butterfly bones
[C]I wish I had been there to run a[G] comb through your hair - it always smelt like smoke and pine cones
[C]But then the devil shot through,[F] you got stronge[C]r as you grew but they treat you like you're never
the same
[C]You filled your [F]one good[C] lung an[F]d bit do[C]wn hard [G]on your [C]tongue just to keep yourself from going
insane
(Not sure about this part...)
[C]Oh [Am] Oh [F]Oh
[G]Oh
(Interlude, the verses chords, Darren does much finger picking here in a guitar solo)
[C] [F] [C]
[C] [G]
[C] [F] [C]
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
(Middle 8)
[G]And the rides ke[C]ep on turning
[G]And our lives in[C]sist on turning
[G]And my mind it k[C]eeps on learning
[C]But I can smell [F]something burning mmm
[C]Now in a minute or less I tried [F]to confess every[C] single thing I've learnt so far
[C]In a skirt that you'd stolen as [G]the road was unrolling and unreelin' 'neath the wheels of the car
[C]No I haven't been drinking, I do[F]n't know what I [C]was thinking but it really don't mean a thing
[C]She said “d[F]o me a f[C]avour if[F] you wan[C]na be my[G] saviour[C] then you're gonna have to wait 'til the spring”
[C]She said “d[F]o me a f[C]avour if[F] you wan[C]na be my[G] saviour[C] then you're gonna have to learn how to sing”
Thanks, Justin, for getting me hooked on Darren Hanlon!
