This is not at all how Ben Howard plays this song, just a simple version with standard tuning,
good for campfires and stuff.
[Intro]
F Am C G
F Am G
[Verse 1]
F
Oh, hey,
Am
I wasn't listening
C G F
I was watching Syria blinded by the sunshine strip
Am
You, you were in the kitchen
C G F
Oh, your mariner’s mouth the wounded with the wounder's whip
[Bridge 1]
Am C
And that's how summer passed oh,
G F
The great divide and range of green green grass
Am G
Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew
[Chorus]
F C Em F
Hello love, my invincible friend
C Em F
Hello love, the thistle and the burr
C G F
Hello love, for you I have so many words
F Am F Am C G F
But I, I forget where we were
[Verse 2]
F
Oh, hey,
Am
I wasn't listening,
C G F
I was stung by all of us, the blind leading out the bored
Am
And as per usual,
C G F
You were skipping and laughing eyes at the bedroom door
[Bridge 2]
Am C
Don't take it so seriously, no
G F
Only time is ours, the rest we'll just wait and see
Am G
Maybe you're right, babe, maybe
F Am
Oh, no, and that's how summer passed
C G F
Oh, your, great divide and range of green green grass
Am G
And, oh, maybe I hold on fast to you
[Chorus]
F C Em F
Hello love, my invincible friend
C Em F
Hello love, the thistle and the burr
C G F
Hello love, for you I have so many words
F Am F Am C G F
But I, I forget where we were
F Am C G F
I, I forget where we were
Am G F
I forget where we were
Am G C
I forget where we were,
F Am C G (3x)
F Am G
F Am
Oh, no, and that's how summer passed
C G F
Oh, your, great divide and range of green green grass
Am G
Oh, maybe it was peace at last, who knew
