Natalie Merchant – Seven Years (Guitar)

F          C       Dm                  Bb
How did I love you? There was no measuring

F               C           Dm        Bb
Far above this dirty world, far above everything

Bb               C                Dm 
In your tower over it, you were clean 

F              C       Dm              Bb
So warm and insightful were you in my eyes

F              C       Dm              Bb
I was sure the rightful guardian of my life

Bb            C              Dm
Damn you betrayer, how you lied! 

        Bb           
But for seven years

C                        F                               C
You were loved, I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet 

        Bb
And for seven years

C                                    F              C
I bowed down to touch the ground so holy; your devotee 

Bb                  Db               Dm
You were, you were all that I could see 

F            C        Dm                    Bb
I've got my sight now, I see everything you hid

F                    C        Dm               Bb
So don't you try to right now all the wrong you did

Bb           C                   Dm
I might forget you, but not forgive 

        Bb           
But for seven years

C                        F                               C
You were loved, I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet 

        Bb
And for seven years

C                                    F              C
I bowed down to touch the ground so holy; your devotee

       Bb                     C
And for seven years, you were so revered

         F                                  C
I made offerings of anything and everything I had 

Bb                  Db               Dm
You were, you were all that I could see 

Bb                  Db               Dm
You were, you were all that I could see  (repeat x4)
