This is a beautiful song by Villagers called Home, pretty straightforward to play. Enjoy :)


C             Em
The night's synthetic half-light
C                Em
Rolls over your steering wheel
Am               G    
I'm closing my eyes just for a while

F                           G
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)


C                Em   
The house, the first thing I see
C                Em
Filled up with a family
Am             G          F
Surrounded by city and by sea
F                           G
Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
F                           G                        
Will you wake me when we're almost halfway
F              G             Am    C
I don't wanna take this trip alone

C            Em
A saint is chasing a snake
C        Em      Am
For everybody's sake
Am               G
And so they go burning cars
F                             G
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C               Em
The mother prepares the weapon
C               Em   Am
Before handing it to son
                G
Who watches his daddy runs

 F                           G
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
F                            G
Will you wake me when we're almost halfway
F             G               Am    C
I don't wanna take this trip alone
          F       Fm      C
Cause I'd never reach my home

C                    Em
The flames wander through the city
C             Em      Am
And set fire to the sea
                 G              F
Then out of the blaze appears a face
                             G
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C              Em
A girl with a look in her eyes
C            Em      Am
As if to say, "I despise
      G                F
Such poisonous family ties"
 F                           G
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C                 Em
But a poison as sweet as nectar
C            Em
Could never forget or neglect her
Am              G                   F
It carries her home and closes her eyes
F                           G
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)

C                        Em
So she goes back under, swallows the water
C                     Em
Fixes her face like a good little daughter
Am                           G                   F
And follows her family, Who follow a saint and a snake
                             G
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
F                            G
Will you wake me when we're almost halfway
F              G               Am    C
I don't wanna take this trip alone
           F      Fm      C
Cause I'd never reach my home

C Em x2

        F     Fm       C     Em
No I'd never reach my home
        F     Fm       C     Em
No I'd never reach my home

    C   Em
My Home

C                            Em
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
(Can you call me when we're almost halfway)
(Wake me when we're almost halfway)
