Passing Afternoon Chords

   
Tuning: Standard, Capo 2nd

This is a correction of a tab I found here. The bass suspensions were wrong in 
every other version.

Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon

Wooden spoons, her children stir her bougainvillea blooms 


(Continue the same pattern for the rest of the song)

There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days 
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made 
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings 
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves 


There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass 
Springtime calls her children 'till she lets them go at last 
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring 
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of bougainvillea seeds 


There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all 
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls 
But my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns 
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned 


There are names across the sea, only now I do believe 
Sometimes, with the windows closed, she'll sit and think of me 
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know 
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone
