Ben Howard - Burgh Island: chords

      Dm
With brown eyes shining,
                   C
a sure light on a way to go
        Dm
And the sun chides you're reeling home,
               C
against your glow
        Dm
And we lost sight of it,
                       C
and breath tied up in summer's hold
         Dm
And your eyes screamed it,
                        C
Burgh Island, in sepia tones

Chorus:
             Dm                   F            C
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
                Dm                       C
That you're the best woman I have ever known

Oh your brown eyes shine a sure
light on the way to go
And the sun chides you
So long
And we lost sight of it, breath
tied up in summer’s hold
And the world break for it
Burgh Island, in sepia tones

Chorus:
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I have ever known

      Dm7   C  F
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be
     Dm7  C   F
the first to ruin
         Dm7   C   F         Dm7               C
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
              F
The wind blew in - x2
