Not Abel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F#m][Bm][G][Em][D][G]
The [F#m]whole town lined

[Verse 1]
[Bm]
up outside the tent
[Em]What those kids thought they [D]saw
Do you really want to re[G]member this?
[F#m]Today, think of [Bm]all the alien
[Em]shots in the dark
[D]That at one time, all at once, [G]coexisted

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Em]I mean aside from all the burn[C]ing
[Em]Hurry by the shanties beside the road[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Sunset on [G]a cart
Pulled [D]home by a white [E]horse
Conscience [Em]of the hu[G]sband was
[D]righteous and [E]coarse
There must be a [Bm]limit
If we only [G]circle [Em]around
There's no hurry in reach[A]ing

[Interlude 1]
it
[A][F#m][Bm][Em][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[F#m]Shirt bloodstained
And [Bm]yet it was not Abel
[Em]but Cain who got to hear
[D]The voice that for so long
had been [G]a stranger
[F#m]Not one word of[Bm] all the time they
spent [Em]growing up brothers
[D]Even love, yes, even love, yes,
[G]even lose, something to lose

[Verse 5]
[Em]What if the details there were
[C]suddenly shared?
[Em]Tender moments siblings keep secre[C]t

[Verse 6]
Sunset on [G]a time when no [D]words
could be [E]spared
[Em]Unknowing [G]mother
rocks [D]soft in [E]her chair
There [Em]must be a [Bm]limit
This has happened
[Em]This will happen
This is [A]happening
[C]

[Verse 7]
Voice on the [G]radio [D]again
[C]Strange to be [G]shaped
by such [D]strange men
It's [C]the hottest [G]summer [D]again
[C]Strange to [G]be shaped by
such [D]strange men
Where will you [G]go?[A][D][G][D][E]
[G][D]
[E]Whe[G]re?[D][E][D][G]

[Verse 8]
[D]Where, where?
When you asked me that [E]question
it [G]sounded like a [D]joke
A rubber [E]hand extended to shake
Out[Bm]side my kitchen the sound
of [Em]fists on the door
In the early morn[A]ing light
A [G]death so small [D]and sentiment[E]al
[D]Daddy [G]giving the middle [D]finger
to the [E]Kodak lens
When I saw her [Bm]face she smiled
"I don't know [Em]why I saved it all this [A]time"

[Outro 1]
