Iron &amp; Wine is the stage and recording name of folk rock singer and composer Sam Beam (born July 26, 1974). He currently resides in Dripping Springs, Texas, outside Austin.  He  has released four studio albums, several EPs and singles, as well as a few download-only releases, which include a live album (a recording of his 2005 Bonnaroo performance). The name Iron &amp; Wine is taken from a dietary supplement named &quot;Beef Iron &amp; Wine&quot; that he found in a general store.  

Une voix, une guitare et des chansons qui racontent d'une manière simple les bonheurs et les péripéties de la vie.  Iron &amp; Wine nous offre un style propre voyageant entre blues, country et folk. Iron &amp; Wine ? Sam Beam en fait. Un curieux bonhomme qui écrit ces petits bijoux de chansons chez lui, en Floride, et les interprète seuls ou avec sa soeur et quelques amis. The Shepherd's Dog est le dernier album de l'artiste. C'est probablement son album le plus abouti musicalement. Cet album montre une transition entre la folk dépouillée des débuts et des morceaux beaucoup plus produits.

Love is a dress that you made
             Esus2
long to hide your knees
B
love to say this to your face

I'll love you only
           B
for your days and excitement
                         Esus2
what will you keep for to wear
          B
someday drawing you different
                        Esus2
may I be weaved in your hair

B
Love and some verses you hear
             Esus2
say what you can't say
B
love to say this in your ear
               Esus2
I'll love you that way
             B
from your changing contentments,
                            Esus2
what will you choose for to share
          B
someday drawing you different
                        Esus2
may I be weaved in your hair

Cinder And Smoke

Our Endless Numbered Days

Original tuning : 1.5 step up



Verse 1:

         C
I was a quick wet boy

            Am
Diving too deep for coins

            F
All of your straight blind eyes

          G
Wide on my plastic toys

             C
And when the cops closed the fair

          Am
I cut my long baby hair

           F
Stole me a dog-eared map

                  G
And called for you everywhere


Chorus:

        C
Have I found you?

           Am     F        G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping


C
Or lost you?

Am
American mouth

F         G
Big bill looming


Verse 2:

           C
Now I'm a fat house cat

            Am
Cursing my sore blunt tongue

             F
Watching the warm poison rats

                  G
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks

           C
Kissing on magazine photos

      Am                          F
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean

               G
Blood of Christ mountain stream


Chorus:

C
Have I found you?

Am               F          G
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding

C
Or lost you?

Am
American mouth

F         G
Big bill, still going down

Boy With A Coin

The Shepherd's Dog

Am		  C	       F	     Am	
One more drink tonight as your gray stallion rests
F	             Am
Where he lays in the reins

For all of the speed and the strength he gave

He Lays In The Reins

he kissed her once as she leaned on the windowsill
G                         Am              C      G     Am C
she'll never love him but knows that her father will
G                        Am            C             
her fallen fruit is all rotten in the middle but her

breast never dries when he's hungry

G Am C x2


the money came and she died in her rocking chair
the window wide and the rain in her braided hair
a letter locked in the pattern of her knuckle
like a hymn to the house she was making

G Am C x2

G                     Am             C
blind and whistling just around the corner and there's a 
G             Am	C
wind that is whispering something
G	                Am	C
strong as hell but not hickory rooted

G Am C x2

she kissed him once cause he gave her a cigarette
and turned around but he waits like a turned down bed
and summer left like her walking with another and a
sound of a church bell ringing

G Am C x2

the money came and he died like a butterfly
a buried star and the haze of the city lights
a gun went off and her mother dropped her baby on the
blue feathered wing - we were lucky

with bruises on my chin, the time when, we counted every black car

passing

your house beneath the hill, and up until, someone caught us in the kitchen
      Am                G             F                   C
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank, a vision too removed to

mention

Leave, and resonate, Just like the gates, Around the holy kingdom
       Am                    G                    F

behavior
           Am            G            F            C       G
A fleeting chance to see, A trapeze Swing as high as any savior

Those dogs, that love the rain, And chasing trains

The colored birds above there running 
        Am           G                  F                
In circles round the well, And where it spells

With cinder gray, And spray paint 'Who the hell can see forever?'

And Please, remember me, Seldomly, In the car behind the carnival

My hand between your  knees, You turn from me 
                C                 G     
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful

But never meant to last', The clown that passed,

Saw me just come up with anger

When it filled, with circus dogs, The parking lot, Had an element of danger

So Please, remember me, Finally, And all my uphill clawing

 Do my best to make a drawing Of God, and Lucifer

A boy and girl An angel kissing on a sinner,

A monkey and a man A marching band All around the frightened trapeze swingers

Trapeze

I first found this as guitar tabs, and they had put a A#9 
in the place of Gm. But I don't know, I reckon it sounds
a bit off with an A#9, so yeah, tell me what you think about
the Gm instead... If you think it sounds terrible just replace
it with an A#9

MUCH LOVE BRUDDDAAAAS


F                    C
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
       Gm(A#9)                     F
in our eyes are mirror images and when
                C
we kiss they're perfectly aligned
    F               C
and I have to speculate that God himself
    Gm                        F
did make us into corresponding shapes like
       C
puzzle pieces from the clay
F                        C
true, it may seem like a stretch, but
                            Gm
its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
                  F             C
head when you're away when I am missing you to death
F                             C
when you are out there on the road for
                 Gm
several weeks of shows and when you scan
        F              C
the radio, I hope this song will guide you home


F                            C
they will see us waving from such great
                   Gm            F C
heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
    F                             C
but everything looks perfect from far away,
          Gm               F C
'come down now,' but we'll stay...


F                  C
I tried my best to leave this all on your
  Gm                              F
machine but the persistent beat it sounded
      C
thin upon listening
F                     C
that frankly will not fly. you will hear
              Gm
the shrillest highs and lowest lows with
       F                   C
the windows down when this is guiding you home

Swans And The Swimming

Around The Well

Intro

Am F  C x4

         Am          F      C     
There is light in my lady's house
            Am            F       C
And there's none but some falling rain
 Am         F      C
Less like a spoken word
       Am            F        C
She is more than her thousand names


G                     F 
 No hands are half as gentle
C                    G
Firm as they like to be
Am                       F 
Thank god you see me the way you do
C
Strange as you are to me.


Bridge - As Intro and Chorus


      Am         F      C 
It is good in my ladies house
        Am             F    C
And the shape that her body makes
Am        F       C
Love is a fragile word
       Am         F       C
In the air on the length we lay



G                     F 
 No hands are half as gentle, or,
C                    G
Firm as they like to be
Am                        F 
 Thank God you see me the way you do
C                     G
Strange as you are to me.

Bm                 D
Who's seen Jezebel?
                 A                           G           A              Bm
She was born to be the woman I would know
         D
and hold like the breeze 
               A                               G
half as tight as both our eyes closed

Who's seen Jezebel?

She went walking where the cedars line the road
         D 
her blouse on the ground 
                       A                                   G                A
where the dogs were hungry, roaming, saying,


Bm  D
"Wait, 
A     G                  A                Bm  D
we swear we'll love you more 
         A     G     A     Bm   D
and wholly  Jezebel,

She was born to be the woman we could blame
D                                             A
make me a beast half as brave
                    G
I'd be the same


Bm                 D
Who's seen Jezebel?
                  A                        G        A         Bm
She was gone before I ever got to say,
D
"Lay here my love 
                      A                          G               A    Bm 
you're the only shape I'll pray to, Jezebel"

Will the mountain last as long as I can wait
D
wait like the dawn 
               A                                 G
how it aches to meet the day

She was certainly the spark for all I've done
         D 
The window was wide

she could see the dogs come running, saying

Woman King

G
Run like a race for family
when you hear like you're alone
Em
The rusted gears of morning
to faceless busy phones
   C                
We gladly run in circles
                             D 
but the shape we're meant to make
   G
is gone

G
Love is a tired symphony 
you hum when you awake
Em
Love is a crying baby 
mama warned you not to shake
C
Love is the best sensation
              D      G
hiding in the lion's mane

G
So I'll clear the road, the gravel
and the thorn bush in your path
Em
Burn the scented oil 
that I'll drip into your bath
C
The water's there to warm you
                        D
and the earth is warmer when
    G
you laugh.

G
Love is a scene I render
when you catch me wide awake
Em
Love's a dream you enter
though I shake and shake and shake you
C                         
Love is the best endeavor waiting
       D      G  
in the lion's mane

Em            C                  G                            D

Em            C                  G                     D
mother don't worry, I've got some money i save for the weekend 
Em      C                  G                            D

Em            C          G                         D
so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten 
Em            C             G                D
sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain

Em            C                  G                            D
mother i made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison 
Em       C                  G                        D
mother i lost it, all of the fear of the Lord i was given 
Em        C                  G                            D
mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to 
Em         C                  G                           D
mother forgive me, i sold your car for the shoes that i gave you

Em          C            G                      D
so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

Em            C                  G                     D

Em       C                         G                       D 
mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Em            C                          G                            D
blood on the floor & the fleas on their paws and you cried 'til the morning

Em          C                G                    D
so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

Upward Over The Mountain

The Creek Drank The Cradle

[Verse 1]
G                        C
The back alley's full of rain
                    G
And everything's shining
                   C
As holy as she can be
                      G
The trick's in the timing


[Verse 2]
                   C
Free as a morning bird
               G
Fragile as china
                             C
She's stuck in the weakest heart
               G
Of South Carolina


[Chorus]
                        Cm
Where all of the naked boys
                 Bm
Lay down beside her
                       Am
Sing her the saddest song
                     G
All caught in the briars


[Verse 3]
                  Cm
I never meant to fall
                   Bm
So hard in the doorway
                      Am
And all the sinners here
                     D
Have crosses for Sunday


[Verse 4]
                       Cm
Kissed at the county fair
                Bm
Frisked in the city
                              Am
Which proves as an answered prayer
                G
But ain't it a pity


[Chorus]
                        C
Where all of the naked boys
                  G
Lay down beside her
                        C
Sing her the saddest song
                     G
All caught in the briars


[Sundown]
                           C
There go the cops with the tomcat teeth
                                     G
Here come the church mice trying too hard
                     C
She had a way to be kind with words
                                 G
I had a knife in the back of my car

                       C
Nobody knows when the rain may come
                             G
Nobody wants wake up and be cruel
                            C
She locked the door and the sun went down
                                   G
In South Carolina with nothing to lose

                Cm           Bm
All of her naked boys
                  Am          G
And not even I was true

VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)

    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

E
Doin? what I shouldn?t do
    A
And bein? who I shouldn?t be


A little voice told me it?s all wrong
        D
Another voice told me it?s alright
  E
I used to think I was strong
    A
But lately I just lost the fight

Chorus:
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D          
 For a little while
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D                    E
 For a little while

      A
I got tired of bein? good
        D
Started missing that old feeling free
     E
Stop actin? like I thought I should
    A
And went on back to bein? me

  
I never meant to hurt no one
  D
I just had to have my way
           E
If there's such a thing as too much fun
A
This must be the price you pay

Chorus:
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D          
 For a little while
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D
 For a little while
E                 A                D
 You never see it comin? till it?s gone
E                     A           D
 It all happens for a reason even when it?s wrong
  E
Especially when it?s wrong

Chorus:
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D          
 For a little while
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D                    E
 For a little while

      A
I was goin? where I shouldn?t go
D
Seein? who I shouldn?t see
E
Doin? what I shouldn?t do
    A
And bein? who I shouldn?t be
