Laura Marling – Song For Our Daughter (Guitar)

Db                                         Gb
Though they may want you to tread in their trail

Db                               Gb
Only to see if the path they set fails

Db                                        Gb
Though they may want you to take off your clothes

Db                                   Gb
Whatever they think that the action exposed

Db         Fm            B        Gb
With your clothes on the floor

Db       Ab             B           Gb
Taking advice from some old balding bore

Db              Fm          B            Gb
You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?"

Ebm    Ebm7     Ab
       Do you remember what I said?

Ebm    Ebm7        Ab
   The book I left by your bed

Ebm    Ebm7        Ab      Db    Ab    Ab7
   The words that some survivor read

Db                                                   Gb
Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old

Db                                    Gb
All of the bullshit that she might be told

Db      Fm           B        Gb
There's blood on the floor

Db    Ab            B            Gb
Maybe now you'll believe her for sure

Ebm7   Ab
She remembers what I said

Ebm7            Ab
The book I left by her bed

Ebm     Ebm7         Ab
    The words that some survivor read

Db                                       Gb
Though they may take you for all you had left

Db                                               Gb
You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet

Ab7                           Ab
So you wished for a kiss from God

Ab7      Ab              Ab7      Gb
And you mourned in your childish loss

Ab        Ab7           Ab
Innocence gone but it's not forgot

B               Gb             Db
You'll get your way through it somehow

Ebm7   Ab7          Ab
You remember what I said

Ebm7              Ab7
The book you left by your bed

Ebm7           Ab7     Ab       Ab7
The words that will outlive the dead
