E MajorE


Verse 1:


E MajorE          BB
Lady of the Ark I think I found a part,
 F#F#                E MajorE
I think I found a piece of what you used to be.
E MajorE            BB
Dozing in the back of a funeral car
  F#F#               E MajorE
and tangled in the blankets of your memory.
E MajorE    BB       E MajorE
So why, why did I waste you?
      BB     A augmentedA      E MajorE
If I'd have felt that love come to fall
 BB         F#F#                   E MajorE
I couldn't save you, plunging to the earth as sweet as cannonball
E MajorE     BB       E MajorE
Oh why why did I know you?
     BB       A augmentedA     E MajorE
How did I know you would go in the end?
        BB
Fell out of the sky, you told me,
F#F#               E MajorE
"Baby I'll be gone but when I'm back again, we'll try"
E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE
Try-yy-yy x 3


Verse 2:


E MajorE         BB
Lady of the ark I think you were the start
 F#F#                  E MajorE
I think you were the key with which his heart was closed.
E MajorE          BB
Not his only secret, not his only weakness,
 F#F#               E MajorE
I found him at the party feeling through her clothes.
E MajorE          BB      E MajorE
And he cried, cried, "I'm wasted"
        BB    A augmentedA        E MajorE
And he couldn't look you straight in the mouth
       BB        F#F#               E MajorE
But all that time he'd taken, even though he didn't watch the words come out
E MajorE     BB         E MajorE
Oh why why did you leave me?
        BB       A augmentedA     E MajorE
Why didn't you think it would rip me apart?
E MajorE         BB     F#F#                E MajorE
And we were always bleeding, inward toward the spirit when the soul departs the mind
E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE
Mi-ii-ii-nd x 3

Chorus:


E MajorE      BB        E MajorE
And I could see your face now
     BB       A augmentedA       E MajorE
Tripping sick with your ear to the wall
     BB          E MajorE    E minorEm
You can't find the way down, my lady, my lady
E MajorE
'til you fall.
E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE

Verse 3:


E MajorE               BB
Well, strange prodigal woman, she can't see it comin',
F#F#             E MajorE
Bats her eyes at everybody one by one.
E MajorE                BB
And though she's movin' faster, still he's blowin' past her
F#F#              E MajorE
Naked with his eye toward the morning sun.
E MajorE           BB      E MajorE
But you're wild, wild, I've seen it
        BB       A augmentedA       E MajorE
And he left you sick when you loved him the most.
        BB         F#F#               E MajorE
So now you're done and defeated, torn between the devil and the holy ghost.
E MajorE       BB        E MajorE
Swing low, low, sweet heathen,
       BB      A augmentedA       E MajorE
Swing for the rich and the rock 'n roll kids
E MajorE       BB
Who roam this Earth repeating
F#F#               E MajorE
All this sin until this wicked world makes sense in time.
E MajorE BB F#F# E MajorE
Ti-ii-ii-me  x 3
