Lucy Kaplansky - Scavenger


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: D   G D

             G     D
Once, a long time ago
      G     D
I was cast away, left for dead
               A
A child on the road
       G     D
Just a scavenger
      G       D
Never looked around
     G          D                    A      D
Just watched my shoes moving forward on the ground

              G                            D
Looking for a corner, feather-face, man or ring
               G                     A
And a piece of string to tie them on me
        G          D
To keep little bit warm
         G       D
I wrap myself in leaves
         G       D
What was thrown away
         A         G   D
I picked up like a refugee


CHORUS:
        G
You may never hear the angels sing
        D
On the "Voice Of God", all night
        A
You may walk yourself, alone
            Bm
Through the hills of the night
        G
But you walk with the ones you love
       D
In the valley of your life

You'll always stand with the ones you keep
       A              D
In the valley of your life


             G     D
Once, a long time ago
      G     D
There was a shepherd
                A
Took one of his own
   G           D
He took him up high
       G      D
Raised up his knife
    G         D
No words were spoken
         A          D
His face filled the sky


          G                 D
Leave his family, leave his home
             G                A
Set free the men, set free to roam
      G             D
Baby, when I've got scavengers
             G     D
Through this dusty road
                            A    D
When I'm at highway, life?s open road
        Bm              A    D
Another refugee, life?s open road


CHORUS:
        G
You may never hear the angels sing
        D
On the "Voice Of God", all night
        A
You may walk yourself, alone
            Bm
Through the hills of the night
        G
But you walk with the ones you love
       D
In the valley of your life

You'll always stand with the ones you keep
       A              D
In the valley of your life


INSTRUMENTAL:  G D  A  D  G D  G D
