Dry The River - It Was Love That Laid Us Low


Tuning half step down



Intro:

G+G
B minorBm  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G


Verse 1:

B minorBm      G+G
I dreamt of a Russian doll bride
  A augmentedA             G+G
Who spun on the points of her feet like a child
B minorBm      G+G          D MajorD
But I had the terminal pride of an older man
B minorBm         G+G
There?s a Passover cross on the post
    A augmentedA           G+G
But the angel descends in the shape of a crow
  E minorEm     C majorC          D MajorD        G+G
And buries its beak in our unfused bones, like it?s ok

Chorus:

E minorEm        C majorC   D MajorD      C majorC        B minorBm   A minorAm
Like a moth goes sad and soft in the streetlights? umbilical glow:
           G+G
It was love that laid us low


B minorBm  G+G  A augmentedA  G+G


Verse 2:

B minorBm       G+G
I worked out of town after dark
   A augmentedA         G+G
With apocryphal men in a cold weather mask
B minorBm       G+G           D MajorD
I guess she did best to depart in the Dark Night of the Soul
B minorBm        G+G
By nature you?re mild and you?re meek
     A augmentedA               G+G
But they say that you?re judged by the company you keep
E minorEm   C majorC             D MajorD        G+G
Merrily spitting up salt when you speak, like it?s ok

B minorBm  C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm


Chorus:

E minorEm   C majorC         D MajorD      C majorC        B minorBm   A minorAm
Like a moth goes sad and soft in the streetlight?s umbilical glow
E minorEm   C majorC       D MajorD      C majorC       B minorBm     A minorAm
Like a pilgrim father kneels in a land where his god doesn?t go
   E minorEm  C majorC          D MajorD     C majorC    B minorBm     A minorAm
Like every seed in the sycamore tree will turn its back on its home:
             B minorBm  C majorC
It was love that laid us low
           G+G
It was love that laid us low
