An edit of Devine07�s tab, I just rearranged it for those without a capo.
Bright Eyes
Four Winds
Intro: Am, F, C, Dm, C, Dm, F x4
Am F
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
C Dm
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
C Dm
His body's decomposing in containers tonight
F
In an abandoned building where
Am F
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
C Dm
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
C Dm
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
F
Four winds blowing through her hair
Dm G Dm G
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
F C F C
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
Dm
She caves
Interlude: Am, F, C, Dm, C, Dm, F
Am F
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran is mute
C Dm
If you'd burn them all together you'd get close to the truth still
F Dm
They're pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons
F
While shadows lengthen in the sun
Am F
Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times
C Dm
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
F Dm
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
F
Four winds, cry until it comes
Dm G
And it's the song of man
Dm G
Slouching towards Bethlehem
G C G C
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
Dm G
It breaks, it breaks, (it breaks)
Interlude: Am, F, Am, F, Am, F, G
Em C
Well, I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet
C Dm
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
C Dm
All the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
F
They said, "You'd better look alive"
Am F
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
C Dm
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
C Dm
I buried my ballast, I made my peace
F
With four winds, levelling the pines
Dm G Dm G
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
F C F C
She just can't remain with all that outer space
Dm G Dm G
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.
End on: Am
