Camels Swapped For Wives Chords

   
Just a rough version of this beautifully poetic little ditty from the kingdom's finest...

VERSE 1
A
A postcard arrives
A
I see you're on your walk well I hope the promised land
F#m
Is more than sand and rocks and camels swapped for wives
E
Before you saddle up
E
Before your Judas knocks 3 times and betrays you to the cops
Em
Spare a thought for our worries over your state of mind
A
So what if you leave behind some trouble with the law?
                                  F#m
It's not so long since your attempt to crucify their dog
                                      E
Your chosen one, the one whose cross will blaze on high
                                                                                          Em
To warn us that meteoric retribution falls down from the skies

Well I don't give a fuck about that

CHORUS
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/king_creosote/camels_swapped_for_wives_crd.html ]
Bm            E
(Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother
Bm            E
(An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother
Bm            E
Don't take them down any further
A            D            Bm
Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone
A            D            Dm              A
Just 'cos hell won't l-e-a-v-e you alone...

VERSE 2
A
You swan in Craigtoun Pond
A
Clad only in your socks
F#m
And you've ran naked in the snow

Upon your Calgary Rock
                            E
You've watched us with the Devil's Eye half closed behind your mind
                                                        Em
You know the day, the date, the time, but not the why

Well I don't give a fuck about that!

CHORUS
Bm            E
(Cos you cannot)(?) be still my brother
Bm            E
(An ancient memory)(?), Father, Mother
Bm            E
Don't take them down any further
A            Bm          D

Just 'cos hell won't leave you alone
A            Bm          Dm              A
Just 'cos hell won't l-e-a-v-e you alone...
