Country House Waits Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Gm]The coun[G]try house
sat quiet and empty
[Gm]for [G]twenty y[Gm]ears
[G]The [Gm]wide gulf's been peaceful
for [G]twenty [Dsus4]years[G][Gm][G]
[Em]Waiting for chil[D]dren to [Em]make their rounds
and cross its grounds once more
The [G]country house is quiet [C]and [G]empty
for twenty [C]years
Oh, the country [Cm]house [Gm]waits[G][Em][Dsus4]
[G]The country house was
still [Gm]and forgotten
for twenty [G]years[Gm][G][Gm][G][Gm][G]
Only stars [Gm]and coyotes
broke the [G]silence here
[Gm]More [G]qui[Em]et days to learn
motherhood words,
come an[G]d stay
The country house was still and forgotten
for twenty [C]years
Oh, [Cm]oh, oh, oh, oh, [C]oh
Country house, [Gm]oh
The country
[G]The[C] country house[Bb]
The [C]country
I love the country [Bb]house,
the country house wait[C]s for [Gm]us
Overgrown fruit trees, fragments of gates
A dried up creek, coiled up snakes
Whispering tall trees around you here
What do you [Ab]fear?
[G]A doorw[Gm]ay through cobwebs
and blackened rivers
That brings forth and
tends an[C]other
[Gm]Beginning a time of land and sky
Learning to walk as a mother
Learning to walk as a [Ab]mother
[Abm]The fi[Gm]rst time of birth time, a primal time
Is late for a quiet land
[C]To [Gm]be held by a house, waiting to hold
A family by the [Ab]hand
[Bb]Let's [Gm]sweep up the cobwebs
and pull back the vines
Growing through the place in [C]twine
[Gm]For the children it's our duty
To wake up the sleeping beauty
To wake up the sleeping beauty
[Csus2]Oh, oh, o[C]h. oh.[Cm]
[C]Oh,
Country house [Gm]ways.
The [C]country, the country [Bb]house.
The coun[C]try, oh, the country house[Bb].
The country has waits [C]for [Gm]us
