War Horse (CHORDS) by Jenny Owen Youngs

[Intro]~
Em  D  A   Em


[Verse 1]~
   Em
The spirit / it moved me / it led me / to do these

D                   A           Em
Things that I don't know how to explain


[Verse 2]~
Em
A feather / a chalice / an imperfect / balance

D             A               Em
Waiting to be set against the grain

        D             A             Em
And I'll never have to go back home again


[Chorus]~
        G                          D
Take me away / I don't care where I land

           Em                               C
Better on a war horse than in someone else's hands

                 G                            D
Thought it was my place / to watch the country bleed

              C            D               Em
Don't know how I became the girl who they believed


[Verse 3]~
   Em
The saints knew / they told me / what to do / I only

D                 A                   Em
Listened well and did the things they asked


[Verse 4]~
   Em
And time moved / as time does / a flame and / what once was

D               A              Em
Present quickly moved into the past

       D             A              Em
And I'm certain I was never meant to last


[Chorus]~
        G                          D
Take me away / I don't care where I land

           Em                               C
Better on a war horse than in someone else's hands

                 G                            D
Thought it was my place / to watch the country bleed

              C            D               Em
Don't know how I became the girl who they believed

              C            D               Em
Don't know how I became the girl who they believed
