The Rain Follows The Plow Chords by Conor Oberst

VERSE:
   G             Em
Straight away I learned to pray
     F             C
He prays upon the sky
           F               C
You go to heaven when you die 
               G               F
But keep that lake of fire in mind


VERSE:
       G                Em
Broke all the rules at Catholic school
       F             Em
Turned to a life of crime
         F              C
When I stole that motorbike
           G               F
I left a trail of tears behind


BREAK:
            G
Had casual sex
        C   F
Smoked cigarettes
              G       C
Threw caution to the wind
       Dm         
Was a winding path 
        C
That I always plan 
        G            F
To get back to you again


INSTRUMENTAL:
E  Abm    E  Abm   Dm   F


VERSE: 
  G                     Em
'Till the ground 'neath under clouds
     F                C
The rain follows the plow
            F           C
But it was never as profound 
   G                  F
As I had wanted it to be


VERSE:
     G                    Em
The birds, they sang the rites of spring
    F             C     
In summer's La-Z-Boy
   F             C
I sat down to enjoy a world 
        G               F
That's comfortable in green


BREAK:
               G          C       F
A red feather hawk and a Celtic cross
              G      C
Are pierced into my ear
   Dm              C
No matter where I went I meant 
    G                F
To make my way back here


INSTRUMENTAL:
E  Abm    E  Abm   Dm   F


VERSE:
        G                 C      F
Well I don't need God or common law 
            G           C
To tell me right from wrong
        Dm               C
'Cause when you press me to your chest
   G              F
I know where I belong
