Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Tanglewood Tree


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: Am  G  Em    Am  G  Em    Am  G  Em    Am  G  Em

Am        D          Am
Love is a tanglewood tree
     D        Am
In a bower of green
     G         Am    G  Em
In a forest at dawn
Am             D           Am
Fair while the mockingbird sings
        D              Am
But she soon lifts her wings
        G        Am
And the music is gone

G                   C                     G           C
Young lovers in the tall grass with their hearts open wide
         Em         Bm      C
When the red summer poppies bloom
    Am        D           Am
But love is a trackless domain
        D         Am
And the rumour of rain
       G         Am
In the late afternoon


INTERLUDE:  G  Em    Am  G  Em


Am         D             Am
Love is an old root that creeps
            D          Am
Through the meadows of sleep
         G            Am    G  Em
When the long shadows cast
Am        D             Am
Thin as a vagrant young vine
   D             Am
It encircles and twines
       G               Am
And it holds the heart fast


G                       C                 G              C
Catches dreamers in the wildwood with the stars in their eyes
        Em            Bm      C
And the moon in their tousled hair
    Am        D            Am
But love is a light in the sky
       D        Am
And an unspoken lie
      G              Am
And a half-whispered prayer


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C   G  C  Em  Bm  C  Am  D  Am  D  Am  G  Am


BRIDGE:
Em                 C
I'm walking down a bone-dry river
        G                D
But the cool mirage runs true
Em                 C
I'm banking on the fables
       G               D
Of the far, far better things we do
Em
I'm living for the day of reckoning
C        D        G
Counting down the hours
C             D
I yearn away, I burn away
C               D
I turn away the fairest flower of love, 'cause darling



   (## This part is sung counter-harmony duet to the Verse melody ##)


Am        D         Am
Love is a garden of thorns
   Love's garden of thorns, how it grows
      D           Am
And a crow in the corn
   Black crow in the corn humming low
        G             Am    G  Em
And the brake growing wild
   Brake nettle so pretty and wild
   And thistles surround the edge of the
Am            D         Am
Cold when the summer is spent
   Dim dark hour as the sun moves away
       D              Am
In the jade heart's lament
   Lamenting a lost summer day
        G          Am
For the faith of a child
   Who nurtures the faith of a child
   When nothing remains to cover her eyes?


G             C             G          C
My body has a number and my face has a name
   My body has a number, maybe my face has a name
         Em            Bm      C
And each day looks the same to me
   Each hour like each hour before
    Am        D            Am
But love is a voice on the wind
   This longing is a voice on the wind
        D        Am
And the wages of sin
   She cultivates the wages of sin
      G          Am
And a tanglewood tree
   In a tanglewood tree


OUTRO: G  Em  Am  G  Em  Am
