Dragon Eyes Chords & Tabs

by Adrianne Lenker

[Version Description]
Strumming Patterns:
Whole Song:
BPM: 84
Denominator: 16
Triplet: No
Measures: [1, 202, 1, 101, 1, 101, 1, 202, 1, 101, 1, 101, 1, 202, 1, 101]
Chords can alternatively be played with capo 2 on all strings except the high e, which would be kept open,
and would then look like (thanks @simparent):
G: 32000(0, open e)
Em7: 02200(0, open e)
Cadd9: 03200(0, open e)
Otherwise, I find the best voicings to be:
G: 320002
Em7: 022002
Cadd9: 032002

[Verse 1]
G               Em7         Cadd9
Freezing at the edge of the bed
          G             Em7  Cadd9
Chewing a cigarette and repeating
G              Em7        Cadd9
Shadows of the words I've said
              G                        Em7  Cadd9
I don't wanna blame you, I don't wanna blame

[Verse 2]
    G                  Em7         Cadd9
The stars bloom in the warm summer night
            G                      Em7     Cadd9
They have a clear view without the bedroom light
                 G                          Em7 Cadd9
They don't wanna name you, they don't wanna name
G Em7 Cadd9

[Verse 3]
G            Em7    Cadd9
Dragons have silent eyes
        G          Em7  Cadd9
Cracked eggshells, fireflies
              G                       Em7 Cadd9
I don't wanna tame you, I don't wanna tame
G Em7 Cadd9

[Verse 4]
G                 Em7       Cadd9
When the hot sand burns my feet
         G                   Em7  Cadd9
You have cool hands, you are sweet
              G                         Em7  Cadd9
I don't wanna changе you, I don't wanna change
G Em7 Cadd9

[Verse 5]
G           Em7      Cadd9
Carnations into the vase
  G                 Em7          Cadd9
Unfold your clothеs out of the case
              G                             Em7  Cadd9
I just want a place with you, I just want a place
G Em7 Cadd9

[Verse 6]
       G            Em7           Cadd9
As the coastline is shaped by the wind
      G                    Em7  Cadd9
As we make love and you're on my skin
        G                    Em7  Cadd9
You are changing me, you are changing
G Em7 Cadd9
G Em7 Cadd9
G Em7 Cadd9

They have a clear view without the bedroom light
              G                             Em7  Cadd9
I just want a place with you, I just want a place
