Run The Wire Tab por Brown Bird

Intro: D Em

         Bm                G
Run the wire from bow to stern
          A     
Give the windlass a couple turns
            G              A                  D
Check the running light tonight, good light above
       Bm
And tomorrow we shall see
            G
If she is worthy of the sea
          D              A            Bm
And then see if she is worthy of thy love

G D

         Bm          
Lay you down on featherbed
           A                
A feather pillow rest your head
        G                              D
I'm coming home from work, I'm by the water
      Bm
I will meet you between the sheets
               A               G
With tangled limbs and naked feet
           D           A            Bm
To see if we are worthy of a son or daughter

G D Bm A G D Em

         A 
Will I be a steadfast father
  G                        Bm
In spite of my inconstant ways
 Em 
I am jouncing
 G
I am rowing
 Bm                  A
I don't know how to stay

Em G
 
       D                  G           D
Do we move and remove to undo some mistake
       D                              G
Or is moving's motive running from a life we're scared to make
                  A
And if there's somewhere that we're running to

Will it ever be the place
             D
Where the stream sings

           G             Bm
From the light of morning sun
               G               D
The pain it quickly comes, it carries over
   G
Positive and negative
   Bm                G               D
Reverse it back from steeder to the grover
           A
The trouble is that trouble lends itself
      Em                 G                 D
To troubled times till troubled times are gone
