Never Quite Free

one of my favourite songs by the mountain goats , from the album all eternals deck . standard tuning , capo 3 . _____________ G D it’s so good to learn that right outside your window Em C there’s only friendly fields and open roads . G D and you’ll sleep better when you think you’ve stepped back from the brink , Em C and found some peace inside yourself; lay down your heavy load . G it gets alright D C to dream at night . G F C believe in solid skies and slate blue earth below . G D but when you see him - you’ll know . G G D it’s okay to find the faith to saunter forward; Em C there’s no fear of shadows spreading where you stand . G D and you’ll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you , Em C and the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land . G it gets okay D C to praise the day . G F C believe in sheltering skies and stable earth beneath . G but hear his breath come D through his teeth . G G D C walk by faith , Em D C tell no - one what you’ve seen . G G D it’s so good to learn that from right here the view goes on forever; Em and you’ll never want for comfort , C and you’ll never be alone . G see the sunset turning red , D let all be quiet in your head . Em and look about : C all the stars are coming out . G D they shine C like steel swords . G F wish me well C where i go . G but when you see me , D you’ll know . G G D Em C G D Em C G F C G F C _______
