[F#m]I came down over [D]the sleepy mountains where our
[Bm]Wide toes plunged into the [D]weeping shale to tear our
[F#m]Skin up off from the [D]bottom leaves our ankles bare
[Bm]Don't just wander back [D]and forth and leave it
[F#m]Build it into pinnacles [D]and shrines of some
[Bm]Some ghastly predicament [D]of mine you'll find
[F#m]Leaves us plastered to [D]a bed of hairs with
[Bm]Me all coiled up near [D]the bottom with my chest unbared
[F#m]Oh, but dear, [D]the sky is low
[Bm]Gather up its harm [D]in gauze with grateful arms
[F#m]Oh, but dear, [D]the sky is low
[Bm]Gather up its harm [D]in gauze with grateful arms
[F#m]♪
[D]Oh, but dear, the [Bm]sky is low, watch
[D]Fluent sea men rig [F#m]their rudders, so they'll
[D]Graze it with [Bm]their wind arrows
[D]Tis in the fathoms [F#m]that-that they brush below-low
[D]Oh, my dreams [Bm]come back to me
[D]Back to [F#m]me, back to-
[D]Oh, my wrinkles [Bm]build on me
[D]Build on [F#m]me, build on-
[D]Oh, but dear, [Bm]the sky is low

obedear by Purity Ring is played in the key of D. Originally recorded in the sounding key of D, 'obedear' by Purity Ring is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 2, enabling guitarists to execute friendly C shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The tricky Bm barre can be effortlessly simplified using an open Bm7 (x20202) shape, removing the need for five-string index finger pressure across the second fret while maintaining clean note clarity. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between F#m and D: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
