Selection chords: Sarah Harris

C#                                                A#m7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F#   G#        C#
   and as I climb into an empty bed
          A#m7
oh well, enough said
F# G#          F#              G#
  I know itʼs over still I cling
F#                          G#         F#      G# F#
I donʼt know where else I can go, mother

    C#                                               A#m7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F# G#         C#
  see, the sea wants to take me

the knife wants to slit me
  A#m
do you think you can help me?
F#    G#     C#
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
                              A#m7
handsome groom, give her room
F#     G#       C#
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
                          A#m7
although she needs you more than she loves you
F# G#             F#              G#
And I know itʼs over still I cling
F#                          G#
I donʼt know where else I can go
F#                    G#               F#
itʼs over, itʼs over, itʼs over

            C#
I know itʼs over
              F#
and it never really began
G#               F#       G#       A#m
but in my heart it was so real
F#        G#                          F# G#
and you even spoke to me and said:

C#                                               A#m7         F# G#
"If youʼre so funny then why are you on your own tonight?

C#                                                 A#m7         F# G#
and if youʼre so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
C#                                                        A#m7         F# G#
if youʼre so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
C#                                                  A#m7
if youʼre so very good looking why do you sleep alone tonight?

     F# G#        C#
I know   cause tonight is just like any other night
                           A#m7         F#  G#
thatʼs why youʼre on your own tonight
             C#
with your triumphs and your charms
         A#m7
while they are in each otherʼs arms"

F#         G#        F#
Itʼs so easy to laugh
                  G#
itʼs so easy to hate
             F#                      G#
it takes strength to be gentle and kind
F#                G#
itʼs over, over, over

F#        G#         F#
Itʼs so easy to laugh
                  G#
itʼs so easy to hate
         F#                      G#
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
F#                G#
itʼs over, over, over

         C#           F#   G#
Love is natural and real
    F#       G#        A#m
but not for you, my love
    F#           G#
not tonight my love
F# G#      C#           F#
love is natural and real
G#    F#              G#            Fm      F# G#
but not for such as you and I, my love
