Villagers – Home chords

This is a beautiful song by Villagers called Home, pretty straightforward to play. Enjoy :)


C             EmThe night's synthetic half-light
C                EmRolls over your steering wheel
Am               G    I'm closing my eyes just for a while

F                           G(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)


C                Em   The house, the first thing I see
C                EmFilled up with a family
Am             G          FSurrounded by city and by sea
F                           GCan you call me when we're almost halfway)
F                           G                        Will you wake me when we're almost halfway
F              G             Am    CI don't wanna take this trip alone

C            EmA saint is chasing a snake
C        Em      AmFor everybody's sake
Am               GAnd so they go burning cars
F                             G(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C               EmThe mother prepares the weapon
C               Em   AmBefore handing it to son
                GWho watches his daddy runs

 F                           G(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
F                            GWill you wake me when we're almost halfway
F             G               Am    CI don't wanna take this trip alone
          F       Fm      CCause I'd never reach my home

C                    EmThe flames wander through the city
C             Em      AmAnd set fire to the sea
                 G              FThen out of the blaze appears a face
                             G(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C              EmA girl with a look in her eyes
C            Em      AmAs if to say, "I despise
      G                FSuch poisonous family ties"
 F                           G(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C                 EmBut a poison as sweet as nectar
C            EmCould never forget or neglect her
Am              G                   FIt carries her home and closes her eyes
F                           G(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C                        EmSo she goes back under, swallows the water
C                     EmFixes her face like a good little daughter
Am                           G                   FAnd follows her family, Who follow a saint and a snake
                             G(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
F                            GWill you wake me when we're almost halfway
F              G               Am    CI don't wanna take this trip alone
           F      Fm      CCause I'd never reach my home

C Em x2

        F     Fm       C     EmNo I'd never reach my home
        F     Fm       C     EmNo I'd never reach my home

    C   EmMy Home

C                            Em(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
