Nathaniel Rateliff – Early Spring Till chords ver. 3

A wonderful song from Nathaniel Rateliff... truly different and incredibly mesmerising

Standard tuning
Capo 2

nb on the C chord he plays a little hammer / pull on the D string.
Release the fretted 2nd fret to open and hammer on again... a nice little effect!


Intro on the C chord
--------------------

CI was out there missing steps

                          GWhen you swung around to me

CBest to land, not to crash

                   G  Pulling out too late

CCall on everyone you ever knew

      GAnd plead


Pre-chorus 1
------------

     Fmaj7                   CWell I've been the bum who's underfed

Fmaj7                 CI've been the one who should've said

Fmaj7Maybe I'm wrong 

         C                GAnd I've always been that way


Chorus 1
--------

        C            AmAre you tired do you feel

      GWrung out

         CHave you fallen 

     Am           GFrom where glory sprouts

        CAre you cut off 

   Am                 GIn fields and pressed down

        C            AmLike an early spring till 

                  GThat don't come a-round

             CI think I've been there


Pre-Chorus 2
------------

Fmaj7                         C	I think I'm waiting too long

Fmaj7                            C	You tried this panting and poured

Dm              Am                 G	You set a course to cross me out


Chorus 2
--------

        C         AmAre you tired and broken

        GOnce so stout

             C      AmAre you full of the feeling

      G Don't doubt it when it's gone

             C       AmI could curl up this reel

          GAnd leave now

             C       AmI could fill up with air 

              GAnd scream so loud

            CI think I'm going to

I hope I've done it justice!
