Yankee Bayonet Ukulele by Decemberists
(Intro)
C Am C Am
(note: the intro lick uses Cadd9, if you're lazy and don't wanna play the riff you can
add the ninth after defining the chord)
C Am
Heart-carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet
C Am
A sweetheart left behind
C Am
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
C Am
That's where my true love lies
(C Am C Am)
C Am
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
C Am
Sings upon the birch bough high
C Am
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
C Am
All a'chew upon your bones so dry
(C Am C Am x2)
(Chorus)
A Cmaj7
But when the sun breaks
A Cmaj7 G
To no more bullets in Battle Creek
A Cmaj7
Then will you make a grave
A F
For I will be home then
G
I will be home then
F
I will be home then
G
I will be home then
Then
(Interlude)
C Am C Am
(note: in the same style as the intro)
C Am
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
C Am
Made a seam to hem me in
C Am
There at the fair when our eyes caught, careless
C Am
Got my heart right pierced by a pin
(C Am C Am)
C Am
But oh, did you see all the dead of Manassas
C Am
All the bellies and the bones and the bile
C Am
No, I lingered here with the blankets barren
C Am
And my own belly big with child
(C Am C Am x2)
(Chorus)
A Cmaj7
But when the sun breaks
A Cmaj7 G
To no more bullets in Battle Creek
A Cmaj7
Then will you make a grave
A F
For I will be home then
G
I will be home then
F
I will be home then
G
I will be home then
(Bridge)
F G
Stems and bones and stone walls too
G
Could keep me from you
F Em
Skein of skin is all too few
G
To keep me from you
(C Am C Am)
(note: in the same style as the intro)
C Am
But oh my love, though our bodies may be parted
C Am
Though our skin may not touch skin
C Am
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
C Am
I will come on the breath of the wind
C Am C Am x2
