Natalie Merchant – The Feast Of Saint Valentine (Guitar)

        G#m               A
In the deep and darkest night

          E             C#m
of your soul

         G#m                A
When you curse and rue the day

      E               B
That you did dare to give your

  C#m
heart away

       G#m            A
Take courage in the thought

       E             C#m
you belong

     G#m                   A
Good comrade, you're not alone

       E                 B
We're here to give you shelter

          C#m
from the storm

        G#m              A
In the blindness and confusion

         E               C#m
of the fight

          G#m             A
When the blood is soaking through

       E
We'll come to you,

       B                C#m
we'll come to bind the wound

       C#m
We'll come to you

       G#m               A
March on, march on you soldiers

         E  B C#m
of the heart

       G#m           A
 You ragged, weary crowd

        E              B
You retreat in your defeat,

              C#m      C#       C#m
but you move on

        G#m            A             E
Such a vast uncharted wilderness to see

C#m        G#m          A
  Strange lands, strange beasts

          E         B
But I'll go

           C#m
where you lead

           F#m          G#
Where you lead

      G#7          C#m    B   G#    C#m
I'll go where you lead

A        G#7          C#m
   I'll go where you lead

            G#m
And on the feast day of

A        E
  Saint Valentine

C#m       G#m              A
  In the bleak mid-winter cold

      E                  B
Come lay your blood-red roses

        C#m
in the snow

F#m       G#m        C#m
     Come lay them in the snow

        E
Don't stop your search now

A                    E  B
Go, by the grace of God

C#m            G#m
   Keep your courage,

         A
keep your faith

    E                B
And take this paper heart

             C#m
to keep you safe

          F#m
Keep you safe,

G#                     C#m
   keep your hope and faith

B                   G#     C#m
Love will lead you safely on

A                    E
Love will leave you wounded

B                    C#m
Love will bring you Harm

A                 G#
Love will be the curse

            C#m
and be the charm

A                 G#7
Love will be the bruising

     C#m
and the balm

A                  G#
Love will set you free

     A
And love,

  B
love,

                   G#
love will be your bonds

A          G#
Love will win

A          G#      C#m
Love will conquer all
