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. 

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
so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

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
mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together
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 
Em            C             G                D
sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain

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

One more drink tonight as your gray stallion rests

Where he lays in the reins

For all of the speed and the strength he gave

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

her fallen fruit is all rotten in the middle but her

breast never dries when he's hungry

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

wind that is whispering something

strong as hell but not hickory rooted

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

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

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

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.

She was born to be the woman I would know

and hold like the breeze

half as tight as both our eyes closed

She went walking where the cedars line the road
         D 
her blouse on the ground

where the dogs were hungry, roaming, saying,

"Wait, 
A     G                  A                Bm  D
we swear we'll love you more

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

She was gone before I ever got to say,
D
"Lay here my love

Will the mountain last as long as I can wait

wait like the dawn

how it aches to meet the day

She was certainly the spark for all I've done

The window was wide

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

Love And Some Verses

Our Endless Numbered Days

[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 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

Intro: C F C

C                             C6      C
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
                            C6         C7
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
      F                                     C  
I was soft inside there was something going on.

C                             C6      C
You do something to me that I can't explain
                     C6      C7         F                
Hold me closer and I feel no pain every beat of my heart
                       C           
We got something going on.

C              Fmaj7
Tender love is blind
              F
It requires a dedication.
Fm
All this love we feel needs no conversation.
   C                C6 C
We ride it together uh huh
       C                    C6 C
Making love with each other uh huh.

C
Islands in the stream
C6      F
That is what we are
Dm                        G
No one in between how can we be wrong?
      C           C6  F
Sail away with me to another world
         C                C6 C
And we rely on each other uh huh
         Dm               C6 C
From one lover to another uh huh.

C                               C6      C
I can't live without you if the love is gone
                               C6     C7
Everything is nothing when you got no one
            F
And you did walk in the night
                           C6   C
Slowly losing sight of the real thing.

    C                              C6     C
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
                            C6     C7
Too deep in love and we got no way out
        F
And the messages is clear
                              C6   C7
This could be the year of the real thing.

C                Fmaj7                    F
No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never.
   Fm                              
We start and end as one in love forever
   C                C6 C
We ride it together uh huh
       C                    C6 C
Making love with each other uh huh.
