Passing Afternoon Iron And Wine. This is a response to the other chords posted for this song, which are technically However, instead of starting with D without a Capo, Put a Capo on the 2nd Fret and play chords so you can leave the B string open throughout most of the song, as it is on the Sounds more accurate this way, but the other way is fine if you prefer it. What I'm F#/ D is played like so (it's technically a D): E 2 A 5 D 0 G 0 B 0 E x Otherwise, it's pretty self explanatory... Have fun, remember Capo 2nd. And, one thing Sam Beam does a lot that isn't absolutely necessary but sounds nice: On the C and G hit the harmony of the 3rd with a hammer on from the 2nd on the "3" beat (i.e. play a C, the third string open and hammer on the second fret on the 3 count- same with G but a string). I realize that I'm not good at explaining this in type but if you know what saying, it's actually very common and very easy. C F#/D G C There are times that walk from you Like some passing afternoon G F#D C D Summer warmed the open window Of her honeymoon C F#/D G C And she chose a yard to burn But the ground remembers her A F#/D D Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms C F#/D G C There are things that drift away Like our endless numbered days G F#/D D Autumn blew the quilt right off the Perfect bed she made C F#/D G C And she's chosen to believe In the hymns her mother sings G F#/D D Sunday pulls it's children from the Piles of fallen leaves C F#/D G C There are sailing ships that pass All our bodies in the grass G F#/D D Springtime calls her children 'til she Let's 'em go at last C F#/D G C And she's chosen where to be Though she's lost her wedding ring G F#/D D Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds C F#/D G C There are things we can't recall Blind as night that finds us all G F#/D D Winter tucks her children in her Fragile china dolls C F#/D G C But my hands remember hers Rolling around the shady ferns G F#/D D Naked arms are secrets still like Songs I'd never learned C F#/D G C There are names across the sea Only now I do believe G F#/D D Sometimes with the window closed She'll sit and think of me C F#/D G C But she'll mend his tattered clothes And they'll kiss as if they know G F#/D D A baby sleeps in all our bones So scared to be alone
