Handkerchiefs Chords & Tabs
Song: Handkerchiefs
Artist: Winterpills
Album: The Light Divides
This is a very pretty song, fun to play as well. As any folk song,
you need to have a good fingerpicking method to make this sound nice,
a pick wont do it here. It's not too tough to sing along to, and even
better if you have someone else to sing harmony.

Lyrics:
I cross the line
and see a face that can't be mine
through a long long night
to find a place where we all thrive
where every frail thing can survive
where we can live this dream of life
in a dim blue light
she saw his eyes give up the fight
a hand finds mine
traces answers on my spine
from malignant to benign
in the midnight smell of pine
walk, walk, further than you'll ever know
walk, walk, into the snow
a great divide
I didn't know her best friend died
drawn in black-light chalk
her ankles tied in flower stalks
we need a place where we can talk
just need a place where we can talk
into our handkerchiefs
into both our handkerchiefs
handkerchiefs
into both our handkerchiefs
walk, walk into the snow...
Simple enough, good luck, keep rockin'!
