Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Lime Tree Arbour (Guitar)

Am
The boatman calls from the lake

Dm                         G
A lone loon dives upon the water

Am
I put my hand over hers

F           Em   Dm    C
Down in the lime tree arbour

Am
The wind in the trees is whispering

Dm                    G
Whispering low that I love her

Am
She puts her hand over mine

F           Em   Dm    C
Down in the lime tree arbour

G
Through every breath that I breathe

Am                F
And every place I go

Fm         C            Am
There is a hand that protects me

F     Em      Dm  C
And I do love her so

Am
There will always be suffering

Dm                         G
It flows through life like water

Am
I put my hand over hers

F           Em   Dm   C
Down in the lime tree arbour

Am
The boatman he has gone

Dm                           G
And the loons have flown for cover

Am
She puts her hand over mine

F           Em   Dm    C
Down in the lime tree arbour

G
Through every word that I speak

Am                F
And every thing I know

Fm         C             Am
There is a hand that protects me

F        Em   Dm  C
And I do love her so
