Jackson Browne – Our Lady Of The Well (Guitar)

        G
It is a dance we do in silence

                       C
Far below this morning sun

       C
You in your life, me in mine

          G
We have begun

        G
Here we stand and without speaking

                        C
Draw the water from the well

    C                G
And stare beyond the plains

   G/F#      G/E       D      C
To where the mountains lie so still

           G    C               G
But it's a long way that I have come

                             Am                             C
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun

                            G       Bm               Em
Where the families work the land as they have always done

           Am            C                G
Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone

          G
Across my home has grown the shadow

                         C
Of a cruel and senseless hand

          C
Though in some strong hearts

                   G
The love and truth remain

           G
And it has taken me this distance

      G                C
And a woman's smile to learn

        C             G         G/F#
That my heart remains among them

       G/E    D          C
And to them I must return

           G    C               G
But it's a long way that I have come

           G                Am                             C
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun

                            G
Where your children will be born

       Bm                 Em
You'll watch them as they run

           Am            C               G
Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone

       D
If you look for me, Maria

         C
You will find me in the shade

       G     D/F#   Em
Wide awake or in a dream

             Bm     C
It's hard to tell--

       D
If you come to me, Maria

       C
I will show you what I've made

       G               F           C
It's a picture for our lady of the well
