Caroline Herring - Maiden Voyage


CAPO: 1st Fret


INTRO: G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD (2x)

        G+G                B minorBm
It was a maiden voyage, she rode shotgun in the back
  C majorC            D MajorD
We made snow angels in the motel tire tracks
      G+G              B minorBm
The traffic thinned, it parted just for us
         C majorC       D MajorD    G+G
Through rain and wind, through ash and rust

      E minorEm              C majorC
We saw the white dome, like a gleaming breast
             G+G                  D MajorD
But our eyes were on the White House and to hell with all the rest
      E minorEm               C majorC
The masses gathered, drinking frozen margaritas
         G+G      D MajorD        G+G
At the 8th and G+G south face, Capitol Hill Cantinas


CHORUS:
      E minorEm          C majorC
It goes like this, you take your hand
      G+G             D MajorD
You lift it up and you put it on your heart
       E minorEm
And there you stand
      C majorC      G+G            D MajorD
Singing, ?This land is your land, this land is my land?


     G+G          B minorBm
A augmentedA little body so packed with clothes
   C majorC               D MajorD
Disappearing into hordes and lining up in useless rows
  G+G           B minorBm
Of three million people, ashamed and accused
     C majorC                  D MajorD      G+G
Scared to say where they're from, angry their name's been used


     E minorEm        C majorC
I held my girl as she fell asleep
        G+G           D MajorD
At the noontime hour, at the inaugural weep
       E minorEm             C majorC
A augmentedA man said to me, ?You are living in the present moment?
      G+G             D MajorD  G+G
And I felt shut out, cold, tired and all alone

CHORUS:
      E minorEm          C majorC
It goes like this, you take your hand
      G+G             D MajorD
You lift it up and you put it on your heart
       E minorEm
And there you stand
      C majorC      G+G            D MajorD
Singing, ?This land is your land, this land is my land?


INTERLUDE: G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD


        G+G           B minorBm
The privileged held, while the masses flowed
   C majorC              D MajorD
Just like a mighty river running through my soul
    G+G              B minorBm
My girl cried for a flag, something she could understand
    C majorC                D MajorD    G+G
And we marched through the street as I held her hand


       E minorEm            C majorC
The good days come, not just the golden dies
       G+G          D MajorD
As the giant sleeps under cumulus skies
      E minorEm          C majorC
We sing and dance and scream our names
            G+G     D MajorD      G+G
Sleep the sleep of the weary and drive home again


CHORUS:
          E minorEm          C majorC
Honey, it goes like this, you take your hand
      G+G             D MajorD
You lift it up and you put it on your heart
       E minorEm
And there you stand
      C majorC      G+G            D MajorD
Singing, ?This land is your land, this land is my land?


CHORUS:
       E minorEm         C majorC
It goes like this, you take your hand
      G+G             D MajorD
You lift it up and you put it on your heart
       E minorEm
And there you stand
      C majorC      G+G            D MajorD   G+G   B minorBm  C majorC D MajorD G+G
