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).

Eb
I was a quick, wet boy, 	
            Cm
Diving too deep for coins
             Ab
All of your street light eyes, 
             Bb
Wide on my plastic toys
              Eb
And when the cops closed the fair
          Cm
I cut my long baby hair
            Ab
Stole me a dog-eared map
                   Bb
And called for you everywhere


Eb
Have I found you?
Cm               Ab          Bb
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Eb
Or lost you?
Cm
American mouth
Ab         Bb
Big pill, looming 


          Eb
Now I'm a fat house cat 
           Cm
Nursing my sore blunt tongue 
             Ab
Watching the warm poison rats
                 Bb
Curl through the wide fence cracks 
           Eb
Pissing on magazine
             Cm
Photos those fishing lures
              Ab
Thrown in the cold and clean
                Bb
Blood of Christ mountain stream 


Eb
Have I found you?
Cm               Ab          Bb
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
Eb
Or lost you?
Cm
American mouth
Ab         Bb                 ...Eb
Big pill stuck going down

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

may I be weaved in your hair

Love And Some Verses

G                          Am             C          G Am C
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
G             Am              C      
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

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

Cinder And Smoke

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

Boy With A Coin

Intro: C Em

            C                     Em
Boy with a coin he found in the weeds
                 C        D         Em
with bullets and pages of trade magazines
            C                      Em
close to a car that flipped on the turn
                    C       D           Em
when God left the ground to circle the world
C Em D Em  
Hey-------    
C Em D Em
Oh-------

            C                     Em
Girl with a bird she found in the snow
                 C         D              Em
that flew up her gown, and that's how she knows
                  C                  Em
that God made her eyes for crying at birth
               C        D          Em
then left the ground to circle the earth
C Em D Em
Hey--- 
C Em D Em
Oh----

           C                      Em
Boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
              C         D             Em
then making a wish, and tossed in the sea
                 C                   Em
then walked to a town that all of us burned
                  C         D          Em
when God left the ground to circle the world
C Em D Em

[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

She is more than her thousand names

 No hands are half as gentle

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,

Firm as they like to be
Am                        F 
 Thank God you see me the way you do

Outtro - As Intro

My Ladys House

I have been playing this on a tenor drop G uke, 
but it doesn't really matter.  For the Bbadd9, 
just play a Bb, add a C on the A string OR just drop the D 
that you normally play on the C string.

Verse: F   Am  Bb9   F   C
Chorus: Bb9  F   Bb9   C


Intro: 
F    Am    Bb9     F    C


Verse 1:
       F 
In our days we will live

         Am
Like our ghosts will live

Bb9                             F
Pitching glass at the cornfield crows

            C
And folding clothes

Verse 2:
              F
Like stubborn boys across the road
            Am
We'll keep everything:
          Bb9                    F
Grandma's gun and the black bear claw
              C
That took her dog

Verse 3:
            F
When sister Laurie says, "Amen"
              Am
We won't hear anything:
            Bb9                   F
The ten-car trains will take that word
               C
That fledgling bird

Verse 4:
               F
And the fallen house across the way
           Am
It'll keep everything:

Bb9
The baby's breath
            F              C
Our bravery wasted and our shame


Chorus:
 
          Bb9                             F        
And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
         Bb9                            C
Both our tender bellies wound in baling wire
        Bb9                       F
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
         Bb9                           C
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

Verse 5

In our days we will say
What our ghosts will say:
We gave the world what it saw fit
And what'd we get?

Verse 6

Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
We'll see everything:
In the tender shade of the autumn leaves
And the buzzard's wing

Chorus

And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire
All the more a pair of underwater pearls
Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern

Then Sam plays the verse chords once more and ends on an F.

Resurrection Fern

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

Intro:

C               G    F               C            G     
please remember me, happily  by the rosebush laughing 
         C          G             F                  C                 
with bruises on my chin, the time when, we counted every black car 
G
passing 
       Am               G           F               C                 G
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 
     G
mention
         C           G      F                    C                         
But please remember me, fondly, I heard from someone you're still 
   G
pretty
         C                G                    F     
And then, they went on to say That the pearly gates, has some 
    C       G
eloquent graffiti
      Am             G                F                C 
Like, we'll, meet again, and fuck the man And tell my mother not to 
G
worry
   Am           G         F                  C                  G
And angels with a great, handshake And all is done in such a hurry
      C              G        F              C     
And please remember me, at Halloween, Making fools of all the 
G
neighbors 
           C      G             F          C             G     
Are faces painted white, by midnight, We forgotten one another
        Am            G            F                  C         G
And when The morning came, I was ashamed Only now it seems so silly, 

           Am          G             F                    C              G
That season Left the world and then returned And now your lit up by the City
        C            G         F               C               G     
So, Please, remember me, Mistakenly In the window of the tallest 
        C                  G               F                       C       
tower  call, Then pass us by, But much too high, To see the empty road at 
       G  
Happy hour
   Am         G                       F               C        G
Leave, and resonate, Just like the gates, Around the holy kingdom
       Am                    G                    F          
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down' And 
  C                  G
'Someone Save Temptation'
       C              G             F               C                      
And Please, remember me As in the dream, We had as rug-burned 
G
babies
C                   G              F               C              G     
Among  the fallen trees And fast asleep Aside the lions and the ladies
         Am                  G             F               C               
That called, you what you like, And even might, Give a gift for your 
    G
behavior
           Am            G            F            C       G
A fleeting chance to see, A trapeze Swing as high as any savior

       C              G      F                     C             G     
But Please, remember me, My misery, And how it lost me all I wanted 
         C                   G               F                    
Those dogs, that love the rain, And chasing trains
      C                          G     
The colored birds above there running 
        Am           G                  F                
In circles round the well, And where it spells 
      C                  G         Am        
On the wall behind St. Peter's So bright with 
             G               F                C             G            
With cinder gray, And spray paint 'Who the hell can see forever?' 
       C             G     F                C              G     
And Please, remember me, Seldomly, In the car behind the carnival 
     C                 G                  F                      
My hand between your  knees, You turn from me 
                C                 G     
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful 
        Am          G                      F                
But never meant to last', The clown that passed,  
         C               G            
Saw me just come up with anger 
         Am                  G                 F              C       G     
When it filled, with circus dogs, The parking lot, Had an element of danger 
      C             G      F              C            G     
So Please, remember me, Finally, And all my uphill clawing
      C           G               F                      
My dear But if I make The pearly Gates
        C        G               Am         G                     
 Do my best to make a drawing Of God, and Lucifer
           F              C            G            
A boy and girl An angel kissing on a sinner, 
       Am      G                F                      C       G            
A monkey and a man A marching band All around the frightened trapeze swingers 
 C          G       F        C      G      C
Na-na Na-na-na Na-na Na-na...

Upward Over The Mountain

Verse
Em		 C		   G			D*
mother don't worry, i killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
mother don't worry, i've got some money i save for the weekend
mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?
mother remember the blink of an eye when i breathed through your body?

Chorus
Em              C                          G                     D
so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain

Verse
Em		 C		   G		   D
mother i made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison
mother i lost it, all of the fear of the Lord i was given
mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
mother forgive me, i sold your car for the shoes that i gave you

Chorus
Em             C                          G                    D
so may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain

This is the slide solo at the end of Upward Over The Mountain.

The other tab that is here is brilliant, but it's not quite right so I thought I'd fix
up a bit and submit this one! This is my very first tab, and I'm indebted to the Guy who
the first one!

I'm so glad my first tab was for this song..it's such an awesome song!

Upward Over The Mountain solo

This song is beautiful. I first heard it in Twilight and have found that I love Iron and Wine, what a wonderful band and a beautiful song!

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

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A

to remind yourself that you forgot
