[The chords written down here are Amy's, more or less. She plays either
a 12-string or high-strung guitar (which is basically a 12-string with the
bigger strings removed). Some fingerings are at the end.]
[Emily's guitar is tuned DADGAD, so most of her chords actually have A and
D notes in them: G becomes G(9), A becomes A7sus4, Em becomes Em7(4), etc.
Buy the _Swamp_Ophelia_ songbook if you want Emily's chord fingerings.]
[Each chord, or pair of chords joined by hyphens, is one 6/8 measure.]
Dmaj9 G D - Dsus4 D - Dsus9 Dmaj9 G D - Gm D
[intro] (Handed down or made by hand)
Dmaj9 G
Each time you'd pull down the driveway
D - Dsus4 DI wasn't sure when I would see you again
Yours was a twisted, blind-sided highway
D - Gm DNo matter which road you took then
Dmaj9 G
Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
D - Dsus4 DMoved in and made my thinking crowded
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
G A7sus4 A7My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded
G A
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
D - D/C# Gmaj7/BWhen summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
D - D/C# D7/CAnd voices are heard, but nothing is seen
G AWhy do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery
So what is love then
Is it dictated or chosen (handed down or made by hand)
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years
Or is it just pop emotion (handed down or made by hand)
And if it ever was there, and it left
Does it mean it was never true
And to exist it must elude
Is that why I think these things of you
But I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery
C9
Oh, but you like the taste of danger
C9 D - Dsus4 DIt shines like sugar on your lips
And you like to stand in the line of fire
Em7 D7/CJust to show you can shoot straight from your hip
G GmThere must be a thousand things you would die for
I can hardly think of two
Em7 D/F#But not everything is better spoken aloud
G A7sus4 A7Not when I'm talking to you
Dmaj9 G
Oh, the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight
D - Dsus4 DBreaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in the exploits of her thief
D - Gm DShe's a very good listener
Dmaj9 G
And maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle
D - Dsus4 DOf impossibility
Standing at opposite poles
G - A D - Dsus4 DEqual partners in a mystery
Em7We're standing at opposite poles
Equal partners in a mystery
AMY'S CHORDS:
Dmaj9 x00220 G 320033 Gm xx0333 A7sus4 x02030C9: x32330 (actually x32333, but can _you_ play that?)
(The rest should be pretty standard.)
If you want to get that jangly 12-string kind of sound on an ordinary
6-string, put a capo at the 5th fret and transpose everything to the
key of A. Then, try using these for some of your chord fingerings:
Amaj9 D(9) A As2s4 A As2s4
x02100 x00230 x07650 - x07700 x07650 - x07700 intro
Later in the song, the only suggestions I have are 32320x for G9,
and x02220 x02120 x00252 (A Amaj7 D(9)) instead of A A/G# Dmaj7/F#.
