A standard tuning version I transcribed of Bill Callahan's Jim Cain

(orignally in open D)
CAPO II

[Verse 1]
C C/B Am7 G6
I started out in search of ordinary things
C C/B Am7 G6
How much of a tree bends in the wind
C C/B Am7 G6
I started telling the story without knowing the end
C C/B Am7 G6 (x2)

[Verse 2]
C C/B Am7 G6
I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again
C C/B Am7 G6
Something too big to be seen was passing over and over me

[Bridge]
F Dm Cmaj7 C
Well it seemed like a routine case at first
F Dm Cmaj7 C
With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse
F Dm Cmaj7 C
But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles
F Dm Cmaj7 C
And I work myself until I'm frazzled

[Verse 3]
C C/B Am7 G6
I ended up in search of ordinary things
C C/B Am7 G6
Like how can a wave possibly be?
C C/B Am7 G6
I started running, and the concrete turned to sand
C C/B Am7 G6
I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned

[Verse 4]
F Dm Cmaj7 C
In case things go poorly and I not return
F Dm Cmaj7 C
Remember the good things I've done
F Dm Cmaj7 C
In case things go poorly and I not return
F Dm Cmaj7 C
Remember the good things I've done
