Kaplansky, Lucy

Kaplansky, Lucy - Tide guitar chord

here's yet another song i found transcribed in a different key (G),

capoed (II), but, i like the way it sounds my way, no capo, in A.

another song i wished i'd written, too, except lucy got to it first!

(a few years ago)

as usual suggestions, correction, donations are welcome.

THE TIDE

   -Lucy Kaplansky

A   E  

          A

There are demons in the water

          E

There are devils in the sea

          D

There are dangers in the current

         A                E

When the tide goes out of me

         A      

I could drink you under the table

         E

I could drink you out of town

         D

I could drink you off the planet

      A                E

Drink myself into the ground

           A                E

And I have nothing for you tonight

       F#m             E     D

I have nothing for you tonight

       A                 E

I have nothing for you tonight

       F#m           D

I have nothing for you

       A

I was made to be a good girl

        E  

Carried buckets made of stone

        D

Full of envy, full of sorrow

      A             E

On a tightrope all alone

            A

And all the time I was on fire

   E

I burned with every stride

    D

And now I see this anger

       A                 E

Is the horse I choose to ride

         A

Now you say you want something nice from me

            E

Well if you find it, take it, it's on me

        D

In the meantime don't bother me

     A                   E

The tide has washed the nice from me

           A                E

And I have nothing for you tonight

       F#m             E     D

I have nothing for you tonight

       A                 E

I have nothing for you tonight

       F#m           D

I have nothing for you

   A

In nothing are the voices

         E

And the pictures of my life

        D

In the nothing of the sky

      A             E

Is an ocean made of light

       A        

In the nothing of my silence

      E

Is a sad-eyed little girl

     D

On a tightrope she is singing

       A                   E

As she passes through this world

           A               E

And I have nothing for you tonight

       F#m             E     D

I have nothing for you tonight

       A                 E

I have nothing for you tonight

       F#m           D

I have nothing for you ...
