Capo 2
Key: F#m
A lot of this song is just a bass line, so some of the chords sound a bit funny when you play the
whole thing.
It's best to try to play just the low strings for the most part.
Em
I want to find this girl I know
I need to take her out
D
I set a snare in evening air
Em
Made of faith and hope and doubt
I want to spend some time with her
Learn the secrets of her trade
D
I wouldn't mean to cross the line
C
And look into the other side
B
Forbidden to my kind
A
Forbidden to my kind
Em
I need to hang out with my love
The raven-headed sprite
D
I know I'll never dance like her
Em
Or keep her up at nine
I need to hang around with her
I need to let her know
D
Her cause is mine
I'm but a slave
C
I look into her wondrous gaze
B
And taste the strangest core
A
And make the purest noise
Em D Em
What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain
D Em
I serve my window watching close, she will appear again
G
Still polishing her crazy hair
F
Still whispering curlies, drunk on song
Em D
If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place
Em
And steal a melody
D
'Cause I need only see her face
C
A thousand worries fall away
G
And music rushes in
Em

Listen to the sound of life
Drink deep of the day
D
Wait for her, but don't obsess
Em
She called beyond the way
Winds will blow and stones will rage
The music's always sad
D
Money tends to disappear
C
Beauty crumbles with the years
Bm
But music is for us
Am
Music is for us
Em D Em
What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain

I serve my window watching close, she will appear again

Em D Em
If I could only see her face and know that she was close
D Em
There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse
G
I left the danger for a night
F
I left the sadness for a day
Em
And know that I am in safe hands
D
She'll peel the filth and old cigar
Em
An everlasting song
D
She waves her money straight with zeal
C
I know she'll start without delay
G
A tapestry of words
D
A subtle gift to modern rock
C
She says, be popular, play pop
G
And you will win my love
