Laura Marling – Patterns (Ukulele)

C            Dm
Zena, you've squared your toes

F                           C
But your family nose, hangs around

C                              Dm
You're still a ballerina, everybody knows

F                        C
But your feet are on the ground

E7                         F
But as the years go by and points comply

               Gsus4     G    Gsus4    G
With ever more relief

     Fm          C           G
Then patterns in repeat, can begin

C                           Dm
To have your children, your flock of birds

F                     C
Your branch among the wood

C                                   Dm
You'll try to tell them, but you're lost for words

F                          C
'Cause it's so absurd, how good

E7                               F
And as those years go by they'll look upon you

              Gsus4    G      Gsus4    G
kindly like a friend

  Fm         C      G    F     C
A pattern in repeat and never ends

C                     Dm
Pulled for meaning, I arched my back

F                                C
And then from the black you were born

C                         Dm
Forward leaning at first, abstract

F                      C
You soon contract into form

E7                            F
And now the time leaps by and starts to fly

                    Gsus4  G  Gsus4   G
And only then can I see

           Fm          C      G
That we're patterns in repeat

F                        C
And we'll always be

F          C
hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

F          C
hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

F          Fm           C
hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
