The Band - Book Faded Brown: chords

F                                  Dm
Another autumn night it's getting chilly
F                                   Dm
Birds are gathering round getting ready
F                                 Dm
The Moon and the sun are both so heavy
 G
Barely off the ground
       Am                       A#
He's turning the wheels of his daddy's plow
 Am                          A#
Sowing the land that's been handed down
 Gm                    C                  F
Singing a song from a book that's faded brown

Mary she's on the step, she's waiting
Hair is like a light from heaven
The family comes together now, believe in what they found
Grace is said at the table round
a prayer before they settle down
Side by side in a book that's faded brown

Chorus:
A#       C              Dm
Have you ever wondered why?
A#         C              Dm
There's a rainbow in the sky?
A#            C
It's all the tears
      Dm            G
That God has been crying
         G
And it leaves the world
And it leaves the world
        C
With a rainbow for a crown

Those that said, said they're the outsiders
Are only easy riders on a horse that's going lame
For the way of the world is upside down
They can all hold handswhen they walk through town
Side by side with a book that's faded brown

Chorus

By the way have I told you already
That his parents were buried by a tree that they loved
The way of the world is upside down
Even the flowers stood without a sound
Pressed together in a book that's faded
Pressed together in a book that's faded
Pressed together in a book that's faded brown

Bound together in a book that's faded brown
