The Man With The Axe Ukulele tab

	   


G                     D 
If I had to break it down 
                 F#m   G 
I'd say it's the way you love to dance 
 Em7(5-)         D                      Bm 
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned 
      A7                        
The flick of the lights and the world falls 

Away 


           G                   D 
And your office job and your silver hair 
         F#m                   
But our shapes in the dark are 
     G                   Em7(5-) 
The reason I've stayed for all these years 


    G               D    
I thought I was a genius 
                F#m 
 But now I'm twenty-two 
     G              Em7(5-)      
And it's startin' to feel like 
                  D 
All I know how to do is 
 Bm                A 
Put on a suit and take it away 


         G                           D 
With my fistful of tunes that it's painful 

To play 
  F#m                     G 
Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells 
   Em7(5-)         D                    Bm  
They fill up my nights and then they float 
  A7 
 Away 


G                            
I've got hundreds of gowns 
             D 
I've got paintings in frames 
       F#m                         
And a throat that fills with panic 
          G 
Every festival day 
 Em7(5-)              D                    
Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess 
   Bm  A7 
Of Norway 


     G              D             
But you, with your doll's lashes 
       F#m     G 
Your infinite t-shirts 
 Em7(5-)                        D      
I should've known when your favorite 
                Bm 
Record was the same as my father's 
       A7 
You'd take me down 


    G                        D 
I guess I'll always be this way 
    F#m                           G 
Swallowed up by the words, and halfway 

To space 
  Em7(5-)           D                     Bm 
But there by the fire, you offered your hand 
           A7 
And as I took it, I loved you 

The boy with the plan 


 E              A         E   A 
You felled me clean as a pine 
     E            A          C7  D7 
The man with the axe and the lo- ok 
        E 
In his eyes 

( E  A ) 
( E  A ) 

Final:

E                           A 
We've been through so many hard times 
               E                  A 
I'm writin' a love song for you, baby 

( E  A  E )
