Leaves and Kings chords by Josh Ritter


Josh Ritter Chords

Leaves and Kings
Josh Ritter


Capo 2nd fret

intro C - Am - C - Am - F - G

C              Am
I met you at a party
C               Am
or on a crowded street
C               Am
a silent singularity 
F                       G
when glances chanced to meet
C                     Am
You looked into my glasses
C                  Am
said you'd seen a ghost
C                    Am
tried my best to make you smile
F               G
as we calypsoed close

C               Am
I had been to Cleveland
C                Am
You had been to jail
C                 Am
You seemed to be recovering
F                   G
but I felt a little pale

C                    Am
Our house it was on seventeenth
C                  Am
above the hardware store
C                     Am
there we lived with seven cats
F                   G
all named for in seven dwarves

F                    G
but like leaves and kings
F                C
all things must fall
F                    G
no diamond ring is gonna 
F               C
cut through it all

C                      Am
you were working as a graverobber
C                         Am
you could do your job at night
C                     Am
I was living hand-to-mouth
F                  G
just looking for a fight

C                 Am
the reason why we parted
C                     Am
it ain't that hard to find
C               Am
I was always busy
F                     G
and you never had the time

C                      Am
well the reason why we parted
C                     Am
it ain't that hard to see
C                Am
but I was never sure
F                        G
if I left you or you left me

F                   G
but like leaves and kings
F                C
all things must fall
F                  G
no diamond ring is gonna
F               C
cut through it all

[harmonica]

C                   Am
and when it was all over
C                Am
I lost myself in work
C                    Am
you got married to a lawyer
F                      G
painting murals in new york

C                           Am
and though it seems a million miles ago
C                Am
since I saw the light
C                    Am
the hours flowed by nervously
F                    G
like warships in the night

C                    Am
Many times I've been corrupted
C                     Am
but I've never been in love
C                 Am
and I began to realize 
F                        G
that that's just where I was

C                  Am
so I packed up my possessions
C                       Am
and caught an eastbound train
C            Am
met you in ohio
F                 G
sleeping in the rain

F                   G
but like leaves and kings
F                C
all things must fall
F                  G
no diamond ring is gonna
F               C
cut through it all

C                        Am
so now we're going back again
C                 Am
to start where we began
C                  Am
with rules and regulations 
F                  G
but no real kinda plan

C                   Am
I learned my lesson well
C                    Am
with no mistakes at all
C                           Am
once you find yourself true love
F                     G
you just keep holding on

F                   G
like leaves and kings
F                C
all things must fall
F                  G
no diamond ring is gonna
F               C
cut through it all
F               G
but now out of the dark
F           G
out of the blue
F                G
like leaves and kings
F                          C
I've fallen in love with you
