Bleeding White
The Avett Brothers
where each partition set is per chord and the 2nd and 4th chords lead into the 3rd and the 1st. All verses keep repeating the strum pattern and the intro chords and in the verses you don’t play the lick off the 2nd G chord from the intro licks are detailed below. The chords don’t all line up in the verses here but if you get the strum pattern down and know the song well enough to sing along you can figure it out. If you’re just playing along with keep the same beat and you’ll be fine. [Intro] [Verse 1] I’m bleeding white from my clothes but I’m lying in the snow So nobody knows I’m dying If I stand on my feet will the plan be complete Or is the plan me not trying [Chorus] I left you behind but you can find me if I don’t wander too far away [Verse 2] Perhaps in another life I would be more like you Or you more like me let’s just disagree Don’t say you know my type I’m one of a kind let’s thank god for merciful variety [Chorus] I left you behind but you can find me if I don’t wander too far away [Bridge] It’s too far along to feign ignorance Too far along to play it down Am Dsus2 C And you’re far too smart to fall for Am Dsus2 A The part that I’ve been playing [INTERLUDE] ( ) 4x [Verse 3] Yeah I’m bleeding gold in the streets but there’s no one to see Because the kingdom is empty They all left in the night spirits broken in spite Of all the promise of morning [Chorus] I left you behind but you can find me if I don’t wander too far away Yeah if you don’t wander too far away Yeah if you don’t wander too far away Oh if you don’t wander too far away Yeah if you don’t wander too far away [OUTRO] N.C.
