Played finger style - strumming with this fingering won't sound very good
[Intro]
Asus(add9) E7sus Asus(add9) E7sus
[Verse 1]
Asus(add9) A(add9)
The rattle of the barn door
Asus(add9) A(add9)
An ancient sound we've heard before
A(add9) D
Sky's turned black, we're battened down
D D/C# Bm11 E A(add9)
With land turned full we settled in
A(add9) F#m7
We listened and we waited
D
The wind rose high
E
and then it faded
[Chorus]
E A(add9) E A(add9)
Leather and dust, old wheels and rust
A(add9) D
We keep going round because we must
A(add9) D
We'll stick it out together, to the edge of forever somehow
D E F#m7
Wearin' through the leather and the dust
D E A(add9)
Wearin' through the leather and the dust
E7sus
[Verse 2]
Asus(add9) A(add9)
Then in the gold of morning
Asus(add9) A(add9)
Scattered all across the fields
A(add9) D
Fences down, opened wide
D D/C# Bm11 E A(add9)
And all the work of yesterday
F#m7
Hearts and saddles heavy
D
If we keep on
E
We're never gonna die
[Chorus]
E A(add9) E A(add9)
Leather and dust, old wheels and rust
A(add9) D
We keep going round because we must
A(add9) D
We'll stick it out together, to the edge of forever somehow
D E F#m7
Wearin' through the leather and the dust
D E A(add9)
Wearin' through the leather and the dust
E7sus
[Verse 3]
Asus(add9) A(add9)
Not every storm will bring the rain
Asus(add9) A(add9)
Or make the green return again
D
Or burn the weeds of memories to ash
D D/C# Bm11 E A(add9)
And carve into the summer fields
F#m7
The harvest grows around us
D
We haul it up
E
With our calloused hands
[Chorus]
E A(add9) E A(add9)
Leather and dust, old wheels and rust
A(add9) D
We keep going round because we must
A(add9) D
We'll stick it out together, to the edge of forever somehow
D E F#m7
Wearin' through the leather and the dust
D E F#m7
Wearin' through the leather and the dust
D E A(add9)
Wearin' through the leather and the dust
