Cold Days Of February (CHORDS) by Lynched

[Verse 1]~
~D                     ~G        ~A
As I beside some winter's fire

    ~Em      ~D     ~G
Sat writing words strange and steady

  ~D            ~G        ~A
Amongst my own internal choir

     ~Em     ~D     ~G
Came voices to my mind unready

   ~F#m       ~G       ~A      ~Bm
Of those who died on either side

      ~Em          ~D          ~G       ~A
While friends cry o'er their bones unburied

   ~D                   ~G          ~A
Go sighing through the north east winds

      ~Em   ~D       ~G    
These cold days of February


[Verse 2]~
     ~D                 ~G      ~A
Some clerk with papers and his pen

     ~Em     ~D        ~G
Some banker with his poison pity

     ~D                ~G      ~A  
Some captain careless of his men

      ~Em      ~D           ~G
These fan the flames that maim the cities

    ~F#m     ~G      ~A       ~Bm
And bigots in the name of Christ

   ~Em     ~D     ~G           ~A
By thorny paths obscure and muddy

    ~D                 ~G           ~A
Can fear to roam through years of cold

   ~Em     ~D         ~G
Bewailing how their hands are bloody


[Verse 3]~
~D                 ~G            ~A    
Whether they were from here or there

~Em             ~D             ~G
Their race and place I would not be heeding

    ~D                   ~G      ~A
The men who caused such bitterness

    ~Em         ~D              ~G
If hearts they have let their hearts be bleeding

    ~F#m         ~G       ~A         ~Bm
Who neither for age nor the young child

      ~Em       ~D           ~G         ~A
Would turn the shot of the arms they carried

   ~D               ~G      ~A
Go bear the guilt a weary ways

        ~Em   ~D       ~G
For the cold days of February
