Fleet Foxes - Third Of May Ōdaigahara Chords
Capo 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
C A# Dm/A F
Light ended the night, but the song remained
C A# Dm/A F
And I was hiding by the stair, half here, half there, past the lashing rain
C Dm/A Em F
And as the sky[e] would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind
G F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C
As we stood, congregated, at the firing line
[Verse 2]
C A# Dm/A F
Night ended the fight, but the song remained
C A# Dm/A F
And so I headed to the wall, turned tail to call to the new domain
C Dm/A Em F
As if in the sight of sea, you're suddenly free but it's all the same
G F C F
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
G F C F C Dm/A Em F
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
C Dm/A Em F
[Refrain 1]
D#/A# Dm/A
Was I too slow?
D#/A# Dm/A
Did you change overnight?
F
Second son, on the other line
[Verse 3]
C A# Dm/A F
Now, back in our town as a castaway
C A# Dm/A F
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line, on the third of May
C Dm/A Em F
As if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away
G F C F
Oh, but I can hear you, loud in the center
G F C F C Dm/A Em F
Aren't we made to be crowded together, like lea----------ves?
C Dm/A Em F
[Refrain 2]
D#/A# Dm/A
Was I too slow?
D#/A# Dm/A
Did I change overnight?
F Cm
Second son, for the second time
[Bridge 1]
Cm
Can I be light and free?
Dm D#
If I lead you through the fury will you call to me?
Dm D# Cm
And is all that I might owe you carved on ivory?
A# Cm
But all will fade, all I say, all I needed
A# Cm
As a flash in the eye, I wouldn't deny, all receded
[Bridge 2]
Cm
Life unfolds in pools of gold
Dm D#
I am only owed this shape if I make a line to hold
Dm D# Cm
To be held within one's self is deathlike, oh I know
A# Cm
But all will be, for mine and me, as we make it
A# Cm
And the size of the fray, can't take it away, they won't make it
[Outro]
Dmaj7/A
I was a fool
F# E
Crime after crime to confess to
Dm D#/A#
But I hold the fleet angel, she'll bless you
G#7
Hold fast to the wing
G#7
Hold fast to the wing
