  			This is my version of Gracious by Ben Howard. I?ve been waiting for someone to put this  
up for months but it?s 4am and I?m too impatient so thought I?d do it myself! I think  
its fairly accurate, probably a basic version but pretty doable :) Hope you like it! L x 

Am          F 
How would you know? 
      Am 
When everything around you's changing like the weather, 
  Em         F 
A big black storm. 
   Am               F 
And where'd you turn to? 
   Am                                             Em     F 
Or hide a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you let me know? 
    Am           F 
Cause I don't want to, 
   Am                                                  Em       F 
To trouble your mind with the childish design of how it all should go. 
    Am        F 
But I love you so, 
         Am                                              Em          F 
When it all comes clear, when the wind is settled, I'll be here, you know 
        C                   G 
Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers 
    Am             F 
The sand upon that place 
         C               G 
Darling I'll grow weary, happy still 
                Am           F 
With just the memory of your face 
C         G           Am         F 
Gracious goes the ghost of you 
                    C          G             Am 
And I will never forget the plans and the 
                       F 
Silhouettes you drew here and 
C        G          Am          Em 
Gracious goes the ghost of you 
    F 
My dear 

How would you know? 
When everything around you's bruised and battered 
Like the cold night storm. 
And where would you turn to? 
Or hide a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you tell me so? 
Cause I, I adore you so 
When it all comes clear, the wind is settled, I'll be here, you know. 
Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers 
The sand upon that place 
Darling I'll grow weary, happy still 
With just the memory of your face 

Gracious goes the ghost of you 
And I will never forget the plans and the 
Silhouettes you drew here and 
Gracious goes the ghost of you 
My dear 

Gracious goes the ghost of you 
And I will never forget the plans and the 
Silhouettes you drew here and 
Gracious goes the ghost of you 
My dear
