Tide (Kaplansky Lucy)

		
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!

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 ...
