Chords

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

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

And music rushes in

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

         D
A subtle gift to modern rock

             C
She says, be popular, play pop

             G
And you will win my love
