Misc Originals – Brian Pratt - The Jewel And The Jackalope (Guitar)

Em
In the desert unprepared

G
In the marquee unaware

D
An open heart with room to spare

          Am B7              Em
Finds the jewel and the jackalope

Em
In the meadow, in the dust

G
No expectations, needs or lust

D
A gentle breeze, then a mighty gust

           Am B7              Em
Brings the jewel and the jackalope

G
The universe is big and cold

D
It don't give a damn if you get old

C
But ask for nothin’, it may send you gold

       B7              Em
Send a jewel and a jackalope

Em
The secret song of a desert sailor

G
Leaps its banks, slips the jailer

D
Fitted by a cosmic tailor

     Am B7            Em
As a jewel and a jackalope

G
In the fields and in the sand

D
Songs lie in wait to show their hand

C
An open heart understands

          B7                Em
Knows the jewel and the jackalope

Em
Jewels await each heart that hopes

G
The desert's cold but the jackalope copes

D
When the water's rising, each song's a rope

       Am B7          Em
It’s a jewel and a jackalope

Em              D
Just catch the rope

D         C  B              Em
From your jewel and your jackalope

Em             D
Just catch the rope

D         C B                Em
From your jewel and your jackalope
