Suzanne Vega – Widows Walk (Guitar)

   E          F#m              G               A
Consider me a widow, boys, and I will tell you why

             E                F#                G      A
It's not the man but it's the marriage that was drowned

     E                 F#m                G             A
So I walk the walk and wait with watchful eye up to the sky

        E             F#7           G          A
Looking for a kind of vessel I have never found

Em              F#m             G              A
Though I saw it splinter I keep looking out to sea

       E               F#             G      A
Like a dog with little sense I keep returning

       E       F#            G                A
To the very area where I did see the thing go down

              E                F#               G       A
As if there's something at the site I should be learning

     E           A
That line is the horizon

   E         G        A
We watch the wind and set the sail

    E       G               A
But save ourselves when all omens

         E   G A
Point to fail

    E             F#                 G                A
And if I tell the truth then I would have to tell you this

         E              F#m             G    A
Though I grieve and I believe I feel it truly

      E                 F#           G               A
But I knew the ship was empty by the time it hit the rocks

                Em               F#7         G     A
'Cause we could not hold on when fate became unruly

      Em7        F#m7             G               A
So consider me a widow, boys, and I have told you why

         Em7           F#m7          G       A
Does the weather say a better day is nearing?

         Em7             F#m7          G             F#
And I'll set my house in order now and wait upon the will

            Em7               F#m7            G       A
'Cause it's clear that I need better skill in steering

     E           A
That line is the horizon

   E         G        A
We watch the wind and set the sail

    E       G               A
But save ourselves when all omens

         E   G A
Point to fail

     E           A
That line is the horizon

   E         G        A
We watch the wind and set the sail

    E       G               A
But save ourselves when all omens

         E   G A
Point to fail

         E   G A
Point to fail

         E   G A
Point to fail
