OUR LADY OF THE WELL - Jackson Browne

Intro
|G+G    |C majorC    |C majorC    |G+G     |

    G+G
It is a dance we do in silence
            C majorC
Far below this morning sun
    C majorC
You in your life, me in mine
     G+G
We have begun
    G+G
Here we stand and without speaking
            C majorC
Draw the water from the well
  C majorC        G+G
And stare beyond the plains
  G/F#   G/EG/E    D MajorD   C majorC
To where the mountains lie so still

      G+G  C majorC        G+G
But it's a long way that I have come
               A minorAm               C majorC
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
              G+G    B minorBm        E minorEm
Where the families work the land as they have always done
      A minorAm      C majorC        G+G     C majorC
Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone

     G+G
Across my home has grown the shadow
             C majorC
Of a cruel and senseless hand
     C majorC
Though in some strong hearts
          G+G
The love and truth remain
      G+G
And it has taken me this distance
   G+G        C majorC
And a woman's smile to learn
    C majorC       G+G     G/F#
That my heart remains among them
    G/EG/E  D MajorD     C majorC
And to them I must return

      G+G  C majorC        G+G
But it's a long way that I have come
      G+G        A minorAm               C majorC
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
              G+G
Where your children will be born
    B minorBm         E minorEm
You'll watch them as they run
      A minorAm      C majorC        G+G
Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone

    D MajorD
If you look for me, Maria
     C majorC
You will find me in the shade
    G+G   D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Wide awake or in a dream
       B minorBm   C majorC
It's hard to tell--
    D MajorD
If you come to me, Maria
    C majorC
I will show you what I've made
    G+G        FF      C majorC
It's a picture for our lady of the well
