Iron & Wine - Sixteen, Maybe Less 
--------------------------------------
Capo II
Verse: C am F G 
Chorus: F G C [walk down via G/B] F

C                           C 
Beyond the ridge to the left, you asked me what I want
am                      am
Between the trees and cicadas singing round the pond
F                                                    G
"I've spent an hour with you, should I want anything else?"

One grinning wink like the neon on a liquor store
We were sixteen, maybe less, maybe a little more
I walked home smiling; I finally had a story to tell.

F                         G
  And though an autumn time lullaby
         C        G         F
Sang our new-born love to sleep
F                       G
  My brother told me he saw you there
       C          G         F
In the woods one Christmas eve,
   F       G
waiting.

[Chords only] C am F G 2x; 
[Slide Lead]  F G C (G) F 2x;  G

I met my wife at a party when I drank too much
My son is married and tells me we don¹t talk enough
Call it predictable, yesterday my dream was of you

Beyond the ridge to the west, the sun had left the sky
Between the trees and the pond, you put your hand in mind
Said, "Time has bridled us both, but I remember you too."

And though an autumn time lullaby 
Sang our new-born love to sleep
I dreamed I traveled and found you there
In the woods one Christmas eve,
waiting.

[Chords w/Lead] C am F G 2x; 
                F (G) F F G 2x
