Текст песни Nahko Bear — Love Letters To God + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
Couple of chord variants:
This is how he does the C/G chord (which is basically just a C major chord with a G bass/root)
When he plays the F/C he actually does a "F/C major 7th" (that's what the internet calls it lol)
C/G G Am F/C major 7th
E--0---- E--3---- E--0---- E--0----

D--2---- D--0---- D--2---- D--3----
A--3---- A--2---- A--0---- A--3----

[Verse:]
C/G
Give, Always give what you can
G
Even if your allies draw lines in the sand
Am
And dig, always dig a little deeper
F/C
Sometimes it’s hard to be my brother’s keeper
C/G
Love. So you let love in
G
Baby I am home in the wake of your skin,
Am
and it’s crazy How we wear our ceremonies
F/C
Always be open to your path and your journey
C/G G
Yes, she cradles my loneliness
Am
A home in a forest nest
F/C
Universal test, feel the weight of my love put your hand on my chest
C/G
And rest
In the cradle of my arms
G
The battle that we face is a place where our scars come from
Am
And to pick up that gun
F/C
My love we are destined to teach these ones
C/G
to be brave
And never run away
G Am
Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day
F/C
Yeah, the day you were born you came out perfect never meant to be torn
C/G G
In silence, never been so loud in the violence
Am
Never been so proud of a people
F/C
When we’re fighting for a change, not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
C/G
We are animals
And we cannot be caged
G
Provoke us to fight
Am
So we burn a little sage and write poetry
F/C
Wiser than the enemy will ever be
The minority
C/G
An authority
G
Are you here to protect or arrest me?
Am
I can’t tolerate the hate, and I'm losing sleep
F/C
Can’t breathe because they’re choking out a war in me
Immorality
[Chorus]
C/G Em
Love letters to God
F/C C/G
I Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am F/C C/G
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
C/G Em
So many parts to a heavy heart
F/C C/G
If there’s no beginning, then where would you start?
Am F/C C/G
Start, start, where would you start?
[Verse 2]
C/G G
Human souls, so we carve them to a story Totem poles
Am
Because we’re always searching for a certain goal
F/C
A pattern of physics, a role
Don’t believe all you’re told
C/G
And open
Open up your fist
G
A misconception, you can fight like this
Am
In praise. With the power of prayer
F/C
If God’s on our side we can take the stairs
C/G
To the heavens
Flipping through my chapter seven
G
I live with the snakes in the great deception
Am
No court, in this country for men
F/C
Who steal from their mother on paper with pen
C/G
And we’re tripping
Down a red dirt road
G
And we’re asking
Is this the way we should go?
Am
Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess
F/C
We walk the earth, baby yeah we got this
C/G
Focus, and it’s redirected
G
Grateful, and I’m resurrected
Am
Stubborn, But I know the way
F/C
You’re the skin of my drum
To your rhythm I will sway
C/G
Take my hand
I won’t lead you astray
G
We will not go gently into the darkest of days
Am
Grandma’s here, and she says persevere
F/C
Take a walk in her mocks sees a trail of tears
C/G
And our fears, are the same as they ever were beers[?]
G
Numb the pain of our holocaust years
Am
Always mobbing and motion
F/C
Maybe, baby be an island over an ocean
C/G G
Your arches, how they bend and contract in my Conscious
Am
Never slipped through the grip of my thesis
F/C
And my theory is I shine in your presence
A deliverance
[Chorus]
C/G Em
Love letters to God
F/C C/G
I Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am F/C C/G
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
C/G Em
So many parts to a heavy heart
F/C C/G
If there’s no beginning, then where would you start?
Am F/C C/G
Start, start, where would you start?
