PASSING AFTERNOON IRON AND WINE
Capo 2nd Fret
G/# = 2x0003
There's a nice transition from each of the G chords, going
both into the C major (line 1) and into the G/F# (line 2)
Basically pick the Bass G note (low E string, 3rd fret)
followed by open A string, then A string 2nd fret.

C D G C
There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
G G/F# C D
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
C D G C
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
G G/F# C D
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvilla blooms
C D G C
There are things that drift away like our endless numbered days
G G/F# C D
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
C D G C
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
G G/F# C D
Sunday pulls it's children from the piles of fallen leaves
C D G C
There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
G G/F# C D
Springtime calls her children 'til she let's 'em go at last
C D G C
And she's chosen where to be though she's lost her wedding ring
G G/F# C D
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvilla seeds
C D G C
There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all
G G/F# C D
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
C D G C
But my hands remember hers rolling around the shady ferns
G G/F# C D
Naked arms are secrets still like songs I'd never learned
C D G C
There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
G G/F# C D
Sometimes with the windows closed she'll sit and think of me
C D G C
But she'll mend his tattered clothes, and they'll kiss as if they know
G G/F# C D
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alo-o-one
C D G C
G G/F# C D
