chords un lyrics...worth studying this guys skill,,not the only epic song he wrote either..(not sure why some lyrics have lines thru em?)



Bm    G    A    Bm
I never know what kind of day it's been on my battlefield of ideals
G    A    Bm
But the way she touches and the way it feels, must be just how it heals
A    Bm
And it's got a little better since I let her sundance

RPT INTRO

I never know what time of year it is living on top of the fire
But the robin outside has to hunt and hide in the cold and frosty shire
Ah but he knows just what goes in between his cold toes and his warm ears
And he's got no disguise in his eyes for his love as she nears
------------------
INSTRUMENTAL
[maybe I will write this in detail one day, here are chords and some hints]

Em D/F# D[add 3 and 5 on top string and then 4-2-0 down 4th string]
Am[at 5th fret, add 8 and 7 on top string]
C/Csus4[at 3rd fret]
G Am Em
------------------
D\Dsus4    Em
He spreads her a shelter
D\Dsus4    Em
She takes the tall skies
D\Dsus4    Em
As they helter skelter
D\Dsus4    Em
Along the same sighs

Am    Em G G/F# Em
She wakes my days with a glad face
[rpt]
She fakes and says I'm a hard case
[rpt]
She makes and plays like a bad ace
[rpt]
Carrying my ways into scarred space
Am    Em
And she knows me well
Am Em
Ah but what the hell
Am Em G G/F# Em
Only time can tell, where we're going to

D/Dsus4 Em
Me and my woman
[RPT]

And the Lord speaks out and the pigpens fawn
The sword slides out and the nations mourn
The hoard strides out and the chposen spawn
The devil rides out and the heavens yawn
And he knows us well
Only time can tell, Only time can tell, where we're going to

D/Dsus4 Em
Me and my woman
[RPT]

PASSING CHORD maybe 002200 or such like...

A
What a lovely day
D/DaddE A
What a day to play at living
What a mess we make
D/DaddE
What a trust we break
A D/DaddE
Not giving our wings to our children
A
O how we fail them
E RIFF1
O how we nail them

Am at 5th fret
Sunset my colour
Em D/DaddE A
And king is my name
Am5fr
Darkness my lover
Em D/DaddE A
And we live in shame

D/D riff A
Too far away
[rpt]
From the light of the day
E D E [RIFF1 over Am]
And so near, and so here
Am Em D Em
Can i break through the silence that has taken my place
[rpt]
On the plains of the morning that i just could not face

EmRIFF
Asking you these questions
telling you these lies
Enveloping directions
Developing disguise
Open to suggestion
D/DaddE Em
But closed to all my eyes
G G/F# Em G G/F# Em
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
EmRIFF
Space is just an ashtray
Flesh is my best whwwl
The atmosphere's my highway
And the landscape's my next meal
I need my own Good Friday
D/DaddE Em
And I'm trying to fix the deal
[rpt]
Dead on arrival, right where I stand
I am the new crowned landlord
Of all beneath my star
Queueing up for doomsday
In my homesick motor car
Born before my mother
Died before my Pa
Dead on arrival, right where I stand

Am Em G G/F# Em
And the cuckoo she moves through the dawn fanfare
[rpt]
The dew leaves the rooves in the magic air
I feel a finger running through my nightmares lair
I feel most together with my nowhere stare
Am Em
and you know me well
[rpt]
Ah but what the hell
Am Em G G/F# Em
Only time can tell, where we're going to

D/Dsus4 Em
Me and my woman
