chords a bit or play it as it is. It's such a gorgeous unknown song of hers, and I actually have the lyrics on my wall in my bedroom. :) Yep and it's also my first tab. It's pretty simple too. Enjoy :) Intro: C7 C C7 C
Bb
Walking home from work

F7
Stop at the supermarket

Bb
The condiment aisle

C7                                      F7
A jar of pickles catches the eye

                                                  F
Made eye contact with a solitary pickle -- ah!

                  C7
Bought the jar, took it home

Bb
Then made it up the stairs

F7
And made it through the doorway

Bb
And waded through the floor

C7                                                                 F
Tried to head in the general direction of the bathroom
The truest room In the whole damn
Bb
House
(Chorus)
F7
Sayin' love

C
Is the answer

F
To a question that I

C
have forgotten

         F7                   C
And I know I've been asked

          F7               C
So the answer has got to be

F
Love
Yeah
Bb
So feeding time with TV

F7
Then sleeping time, not sleepy

Bb
So reading time with pickle

      C7                                         F7
But where the bedside lamp had been

                           F               Bb
Is now emanating soft, soft green

Bb
Has it always been this way?

F7                                  Bb
Is it possible that all this magic went unnoticed?

           C7                             F7
Maybe now things'll start to change

                                        F
And life will turn a better page

               F
No more rage
(Chorus)
                 Bb
Tomorrow, back to work again

      F7
But run to the supermarket

              Bb
Running hopeful through the aisles

C7                                                F7
Haven't been this happy in a long time

                                      F
But not a single jar was smiling

        F
After all

        Bb
Man, pickle jars are just

F7
Pickle jars

       Bb
And pickles are just pickles

C7
Ingredients:

          F7
Water, salt, cucumbers

F              F             Bb
Garlic and pickling spices

      F7
But love

         C                 F
Is the answer to a question that I

C
Have forgotten

        F7                      C
And I know I've been asked

             F7
And the answer's got to be

F
Lo... love

          C               F
Is the answer to a question that I

C
Have forgotten

        F7                     C
And I know I've been asked
And the answer's got to be Love And the answer's got to be love And the answer's got to be love And the answer's got to be love
