Biography:
The Wooden Sky is a Canadian indie rock band based in Toronto, Ontario, that formed in 2003 as Friday Morning's Regret, but changed their name in 2007. They trace their roots back through the winter of 2003, when with a collection of songs under his arm, Gavin Gardiner began to seek out musical collaborators to help bring his sketches out from the bedroom and onto the stage. It was soon after the first snow fall that Andrew Wyatt and Chris Cocca joined Gardiner and began to flush out ideas that would become their first EP.

I don't think these are the exact picking patterns, but they gets to job done I suppose.
Gavin also occasionally adds an 0h2 hammer-on on the A string for G chords and on
the D string for C chords.
Verse 1:
G C G
Well, I woke up this morning with dead leaves inside my bed.
G D
You said "You're better off just where you are than to be stuck in my head.
G C G
You've got to leave it all behind you and give yourself up to chance."
Em D G
So I gave myself to chance.
Verse 2:
G C G
And I packed a little suitcase, brushed my teeth and washed my hands.
G D
I've been bluffing here for years and now I think it's time I showed my hand.
G C Cmaj7
I'm going to move to New York City and set the sky on fire.
Em D G
Oh, don't the night look so alive with it's desire
Chorus 1:
C G
To cross the River Jordan?
D G
But it just don't feel the same.
C G
When I came home Friday morning
Em D C G
With no one but myself to blame.
Em D G
Verse 3:
G C G
See I have trouble with numbers and paying the ones I owe.
G D
And I put what I had left in the pocket of my coat.
G C G
I went out to find a liquor store and make a home there in the snow,
Em D G
Give myself a little shelter from the cold.
Chorus 2:
C G
See, I was bound here by my choices.
D G
Oh my god how I felt so ashamed.
C G
Still I hoped that you might join us
Em D G
And take this little light of ours out on parade
Melodica Section (played twice):
Em D G C
Em D G G
Verse 4:
G C G
I used to look at others and try to find a way to grow.
G D
And now I just look around and I'm going to reap the seeds I've sown.
G C Cmaj7
And I try to picture myself in Oslo but lord help me if I go.
Em D G
I've been running around and I believe it's starting to show.
Chorus 3:
C G
And so I'll cross the River Jordan
D G
And if it just don't feel the same.
C G
And I'm not home Friday morning
Em D C G
I'll have no one but myself to blame.
