Guided by Voices – To Keep An Area (Guitar)

D A     D A         D A       D A     D A
   Child,   you know   in time   to go

F# E         F#                           E
     And you try because you know that it matters

       F#                E
But you stumble on broken ladders

         F#                        (D)
And it’s easier to turn back and go home

D A      D A
   Child,

D A       D      A      D A
   I know you closer now

    F#                      E
And I don’t want to see you go

        F#              E
But I’d kind of like to know

F#                E
If I asked you to stay

                   (D)
What would you say?

     D                 C#m
From private monopolies

     D            C#m
From public domain

  D     C#m        Bm   A  D A
I wanted to keep you away

D A           D   A
    and in an area

       D  A  D A
A safe haven

         D  A
Your own zone
