Chords

Artist: P.J. Harvey Song: The Dancer Album: To Bring You My Love On the album, the guitar is strummed quite fast and it is easier to play if you place pick on the last frets of the fretboard rather than the body of the guitar like you normally would. On her latest live however, P.J.Harvey plays only the intro (if there is one) and the part from "My love will stay till the bed run dry" until "The man is gone and heaven only knows" this fast.

        Am                 Dm                    E
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames

        Am                    Dm                    E
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name

        Am                  Dm              E
He came bathed in light and splendor and glory

        Am                        Dm             E
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
Am Dm E X 2
        Am               Dm           E
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil

        Am                   Dm                 E
He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel

        Am                     Dm                 E
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god

         Am                  Dm            E
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love

Am                      Dm
Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights

E
For the lord just to send me home some sign

Am                Dm
I've looked long, I've looked far

E                                     Am
To bring peace to my black and empty heart

Dm  E   E   Am  Dm  E   E
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Aaaaah
Am G F E X 4
    Am                     Dm              E
My love will stay till the river bed run dry

       Am                     Dm             E
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky

   Am                Dm              E
I love him longer as each damn day goes

    Am              Dm           E
The man is gone and heaven only knows

Am                     G
Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights

For the lord just to send me up some sign

Am          G
Is he near? Is he far?

F               E
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

Am           G
So long day, so long night

F            E
Oh lord, be near me tonight

Am          G
Is he near? Is he far?

Bring peace to my black and empty heart
