The Oh Hellos - Exeunt Chords
CAPO 3
C
I was all alone, we were young, you were like wine
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside
F
Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows
Am
Opiate as the cold of the frost on the windows
F C
Lo, the rose is gone from my eyes (so deceiving)
F C
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving
(mandolin/ violin picking here)
C (strum hard 7 times)
Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger
F (listen to song for strum patterns)
Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers
Am
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber
F C
No, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving
F C
So, my love, I'm sorry, but still: I am leaving
(more picking)
F
Even when you hunt me with ire, relentless
F Am
Batter down my door when you find me defenseless
F C
I will not abide all your raging and reaving
F (strum once) C
I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving
