Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Tanglewood Tree
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: A minorAm G+G E minorEm A minorAm G+G E minorEm A minorAm G+G E minorEm A minorAm G+G E minorEm
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
Love is a tanglewood tree
D MajorD A minorAm
In a bower of green
G+G A minorAm G+G E minorEm
In a forest at dawn
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
Fair while the mockingbird sings
D MajorD A minorAm
But she soon lifts her wings
G+G A minorAm
And the music is gone
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Young lovers in the tall grass with their hearts open wide
E minorEm B minorBm C majorC
When the red summer poppies bloom
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
But love is a trackless domain
D MajorD A minorAm
And the rumour of rain
G+G A minorAm
In the late afternoon
INTERLUDE: G+G E minorEm A minorAm G+G E minorEm
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
Love is an old root that creeps
D MajorD A minorAm
Through the meadows of sleep
G+G A minorAm G+G E minorEm
When the long shadows cast
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
Thin as a vagrant young vine
D MajorD A minorAm
It encircles and twines
G+G A minorAm
And it holds the heart fast
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Catches dreamers in the wildwood with the stars in their eyes
E minorEm B minorBm C majorC
And the moon in their tousled hair
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
But love is a light in the sky
D MajorD A minorAm
And an unspoken lie
G+G A minorAm
And a half-whispered prayer
INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm B minorBm C majorC A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm G+G A minorAm
BRIDGE:
E minorEm C majorC
I'm walking down a bone-dry river
G+G D MajorD
But the cool mirage runs true
E minorEm C majorC
I'm banking on the fables
G+G D MajorD
Of the far, far better things we do
E minorEm
I'm living for the day of reckoning
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Counting down the hours
C majorC D MajorD
I yearn away, I burn away
C majorC D MajorD
I turn away the fairest flower of love, 'cause darling
(## This part is sung counter-harmony duet to the Verse melody ##)
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
Love is a garden of thorns
Love's garden of thorns, how it grows
D MajorD A minorAm
And a crow in the corn
Black crow in the corn humming low
G+G A minorAm G+G E minorEm
And the brake growing wild
Brake nettle so pretty and wild
And thistles surround the edge of the
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
Cold when the summer is spent
Dim dark hour as the sun moves away
D MajorD A minorAm
In the jade heart's lament
Lamenting a lost summer day
G+G A minorAm
For the faith of a child
Who nurtures the faith of a child
When nothing remains to cover her eyes?
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
My body has a number and my face has a name
My body has a number, maybe my face has a name
E minorEm B minorBm C majorC
And each day looks the same to me
Each hour like each hour before
A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm
But love is a voice on the wind
This longing is a voice on the wind
D MajorD A minorAm
And the wages of sin
She cultivates the wages of sin
G+G A minorAm
And a tanglewood tree
In a tanglewood tree
OUTRO: G+G E minorEm A minorAm G+G E minorEm A minorAm
