A Shovel Is A Prayer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]A[F][Am][C][G][F][Am][F][C]
[G]shovel is a prayer
To the [D]farmer's foot
[Em]When he steps down
And the soft earth gives [F]way[C]
A [G]baby is a prayer
When it's [D]finally asleep
[Em]A whispered Amen
At the [F]end of [C]the day

[Verse 2]
And a [F]friend is a pray[C]er
When they [Bb]bring [C]over [F]soup
When they [C]laugh at your jokes
And they [G]don't ask for proof
It's a [F]song that [C]you sing
When [Bb]you a[C]re a[F]lone
When you're [C]weary or lonely
[D]Or that far from [G]home[F][C][G][F]
[C]
[Am]For all [D]your searching
[Am]There's nothing [D]to do
[Am]What you've been looki[D]ng for
Is [Em]looking for [F]you

[Verse 3]
I'm the [G]prodigal daughter
You're the [D]dissonant son
We've been [Em]washed in rainwater
We're the [F]fortunate [C]ones
On the [G]other side of midnight
[D]Just before the dawn
You can [Em]feel it coming up
When [F]the long night is [C]done

[Verse 4]
It's as [F]heavy as [C]grief
And [Bb]it's weightless [C]as [F]smoke
It's [C]the dream you forgot
It's the [G]letter you wrote
It's the [F]first birds of morn[C]ing
That [Bb]sound [C]like [F]a hymn
Throw [C]open the windows and
[D]Let the light in

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][C][G][F][C]
[G][F][C][F]
[G][F][C][F][Dm][Am][D]
[Am][D][Em][F]

[Verse 5]
I'm [G]a wayfaring stranger
You're [D]Indiana Jones
We are [Em]Gracie and George
We're [F]Watson [C]and Holmes
The air is [G]filled with angels
There's no [D]devil to outrun
[Em]Just sigh and kiss the ground
When [F]the long night is [C]done
It's [F]a collar turned [C]up
A kiss [Bb]on the fo[C]rehead
[F]A str[C]ing and two cans
It's [G]the last thing you said
It's a [F]hunch that you fol[C]low
[Bb]A light [C]in [F]the dark
An [C]idiot check

[Verse 6]
It's a [D]balm for your heart
[Am]For all you [D]searching
[Am]There's nothing [D]to do[Am]
What you've been [D]looking for
Is [Em]looking for [F]you

[Outro 1]
