CAPO 2 (See below for version without capo)
D G
Like a good-luck charm for a soldier
D G
Heading off into battle
D A
I carried a stone in my pocket
G A
Something I found in Seattle
G D
It vaguely resembled a face
G D
And it looked like a headstone a little
G D
Deep groove from a worm or from years underwater
G A
Running right down the middle
Em G D Em
Some people name their cars or their guitars
G D A Em
Some things are too fragile to name
G Bm E
Some things are made for the spotlight
G A
Some live at the edge of the frame
D G
Just a few days above surface
D G
A lifetime below
D A D
Rocks in my pockets when I go
D G
Stuck to the shoreline
D G
In the light of the torch
D A
Wrapped up in your bandage
G A
Like a package on the porch
G D
You were never gonna make it
G D
I felt like you knew
G D
But at least you'll have someone
G A
For some of us that won’t be true
Em G
Some people go down swinging
D
Get in a few punches
Em G
Some learn to ride the currents
D A
Some never learn
Em G Bm E G
Probably not gonna leave the slightest trace in the wake
A
When it's my turn
D G
Tie down the sails
D G
When the crosswinds blow
D A G
Rocks in my pockets when I go
[Instrumental]
C Bb D
C Bb A
D G
Initials in the bark of a tree
D G
Little signs of hope
D A
Like a good-luck charm for a soldier
G A
Mailed home in an envelope
Em G
Some people go it alone
D
Some need a friend
Em G
The weak ones get lucky
A
The strong ones stick around to see the end
D G
Just a few days above surface
D G
A lifetime below
D A Em
Rocks in my pockets when I go
D A Em
Rocks in my pockets when I go
A D
Rocks in my pockets when I go
