D F G
A cold and wet November dawn 
D F G
And there are no barking sparrows 
D F A
Just emptiness to dwell upon. 

D F G
I fell into a winter slide 
D F G
And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow 
D F A
Just eking out my measly pies. 

G D A D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I 
G D F A
Know there is this side of me that 
G D A D
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G D F A
Fly the whole mess into the sea. 

D F G
Another slow train to the coast 
D F G
Some brand new gory art from way on high 
D F A
I sink and then I swim all night. 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/shins/young_pilgrims_crd.html ]
D F G
I watch the ice melt on the glass 
D F G
While the eloquent young pilgrims pass 
D F A
And leave behind their trail, imploring us not to fail.

G D A D
Of course I was raised to gather courage from those 
G D F A
Lofty tales so tried and true and 
G D A D
If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this 
G D F A
Modern thought can get the best of you.


D Bm                                      
This rather simple epitaph
G A G A
can save your hide your falling mind 
D Bm
Fate isn't what we're up against 
G A G A
there's no design no flaws to find
G A G A
There's no design no flaws to find.

But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I

Know I got this side of me that

Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G D F A
Fly the whole mess into the sea.
