This was pretty easy song to tab, but it's a beautiful song written in the early days of
Justin Vernon. Hope it works for you guys.

C#m - B - A (One strum each)
Verse:
E A
from the moment the arms of the midwestern sky
E B
broke down to the pavement
E A
in a vehicle ragged returning
C#m B A
nervously brave, making my way to you
**Continue same chord pattern until chorus**
heaters have broken, it's cold every day
in the mysteries at the top of my mind
I've never reached an answer, I'm only given clues
nothing better than a journey to you
I ain't got a whole lot of things on my list
just the freedom and the will to choose
I've got you on my mind and nothing to lose
nothing better than a journey to you
in the thick of the night my stomach is sore
I think I'm unable to carry on
as the lighthouse gets smaller I'm closer to torn
nothing better on a journey to you
C#m A C#m
and sometimes I may stumble
C#m A C#m
and sometimes I wonder what love is
A C#m
and I wonder what it's like
B A
to hold true, so close to you
**Repeat Intro**
2ND Verse:
(Same chords progression as first verse)
I might be wrong, but Mary I need to get to you
I know I have hours to go
I just said I'd be back and watch the sky blue
nothing better than a journey to you
I want to grow old with you, no matter how long it takes
in the back of my mind you sit
always setting in the motion, I know
nothing better that a journey to you
from the dark desert highway
to the mountains of Colorado
keep a candle burning at the back of my eyes
of you sleeping, ceasing
my words bleed from this guitar like you hear someone speak
like an oak to the wind in the trees
I know you're for sure with me but I still feel like saying
thank you and please
and every time you sneeze as a wise man once said
I believe in love
when the breast of the hills meets the color of the sea
like your soft cheeks meet the blue eyes looking at me
it's amazing trying to put into words the message coming truly in song
like one I am simple, our brains too big to use
nothing better than a journey to you
I won't be quoting some book to conclude in some proof
you're only 99 percent so amazing to me
but to see the smallest tree and the amount that it grew
at the end of a journey, there's you
at the end of the journey, there's yo
**Repeat intro as outro**
