The Inventors Daughter chords by Branches

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

E MajorE
I fell for the inventor's daughter

A augmentedA
When I chased my silver dollar

BB                  A augmentedA
Down the hill and onto her father's basement porch

E MajorE
I fell for her blurry eyes

A augmentedA
When my tongue was numb and my shoes untied

BB
With her hand held closed in the yellow light

    A augmentedA
On her father's basement porch

Chorus 1:

BB
Down came her brother full of angry words

A augmentedA             E MajorE
And a fistful of problems yet to be heard

A augmentedA             E MajorE
As he delivered to me all that he had learned

BB
About defending when you're scared


Verse 2:

E MajorE
Away she went tucked into his coat

     A augmentedA
With her head turned back and her cheeks made rose

  BB
As I lay there with my eyes half-closed

    A augmentedA
On her father's basement porch

Verse 3:

E MajorE
I fell for the inventor's daughter

    A augmentedA
With a cold washrag and a bloody collar

   BB
And a puffy smile and a head raised taller

   A augmentedA
Than before I took his swing

E MajorE
I fell for her curious eyes

    A augmentedA
And her friendly hands left open wide

  BB
For me to see what's been inside

     A augmentedA
Since my coin first ran away


Chorus 2:

BB
And she is like a stick laid down

   A augmentedA           E MajorE
And a white flag torn from a wedding gown

   A augmentedA          E MajorE           BB
In a dress-up box from a childhood town in her father's memory

BB
And he is like a bulb made bright

   A augmentedA               E MajorE
That flickers when you just want it to stay light

     A augmentedA      E MajorE          BB
And every time that he thinks the night is looking his way


Verse 4:

E MajorE
I fell for the beggar's son

A augmentedA
In the puddled porch with his shoes undone

BB
And the silver coin that had made him come

 A augmentedA
Into the yellow light


Bridge:

E MajorE                         A augmentedA
So come on, come on, come on into the yellow light

E MajorE                         A augmentedA
So come on, come on, come on into the yellow light

E MajorE                         A augmentedA
So come on, come on, come on into the yellow light

E MajorE                         A augmentedA
So come on, come on, come on into the yellow light


Interlude:


Bridge:
