Song: The Hazards of Love 4
Tabbed by: nwenner
Start on G
Em G
Margaret arrayed the rocks around the hull before it was sinking,
Em G
A million stones, a million bones, a million holes within the chinking.
Am C G
And painting rings around your eyes these peppered holes so filled with crying.
Am C G
A whisper weighed upon the tattered-down where-you-and-I were lying.
Em G
Tell me now, tell me this, A forest's son, a river's daughter,
Em G
A willow on the willow wisp, our ghosts will wander all of the water.
Am C G
So let's be married here today these rushing waves to bare our witness,
Am C G Em D
And we-will lie like river stones rol-ling-only-where it takes us.
Chorus
C Am G Em D
But I pulled you and I called you here,
Am C G
And I caught you and I brought you here,
Em D Am C G
These hazards of love, never more will trouble us.
(Interlude)
Em - G x2
Am - C - G x2
Em G
Oh Margaret the lapping waves are licking quietly at our ankles
Em G
another bow another breath this brilliant chill's come for the shackle.
Am C G
With this long last rush of air we speak our vows and sorry whispers,
Am C G Em D
when the waves came crashing down, he closed his eyes and softly kissed her.
Chorus:
C Am G Em D
But I pulled you and I called you here,
Am C G
And I caught you and I brought you here
Em D Am C G
These hazards of love, never more will trouble us.
Em D Am C G
And these hazards of love, never more will trouble us.
