Strays
(MESSÉ)

(No capo)
(The G/F# at the start of each verse is really just a fill riff from the G at the end of the previous line)

G/F# = 2x0033
G/G# = 420033

G/F#   Em           C
In the summer of my wedding
       D                  C
As the corn burned in the fields
     G      G/G#     Am    Am7    
Oh I lay down for my baby
            C           D        G
And let the sweet smoke stain my heels

Well I lay there 'til the midnight
When the dogs they run through town
And I rose up just to listen
And I never lay back down

Then the morning, it came upon me
And I set my soul to search
From the tall grass
Down the main road
To the stained glass at the church

G       C        G    D  G      
Lord my Shepherd help me pray
G        C       G     D  G
Though I left my heart to stray
G        C       G     D G
Though I left my heart untrue
G     D
I can follow
G D
I do
G D
I do

And I can name them in my dreaming
I can set my soul to rest
I can chain them to my body
Let them settle at my breast

Now see them coming to my wedding
Where I will teach them not to stray
Oh they'll carry my salvation
Oh they'll carry me away
