Tori Amos – Marthas Foolish Ginger (Guitar)

Bm                 D
  Take a walk down memory lane with me

Bm                  D
  Past a watermelon stand on the way

Bm        F#m         D
  Thinking I had everything we'd need

     A
  On Martha's foolish ginger

E
  You were late

            D        E
  How could I forget   what you said-

      D
  The part about that

E              D
  "Love taking over your life"

      A
  Was not your plan

         D                  C#m        F#m         D
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland

    A     D                  G
Who knows what I would have done

         D                  C#m        F#m
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland

    A     D                 E
Who knows what I would have done

E
  Through the cliffs

      D
  Out of the bay I went

E
  From the starboard side

  D
  I could black my

E                D
  visions and my passions-

     A
They keep me awake

         D                  C#m        F#m         D
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland

    A     D                  G
Who knows what I would have done

         D                  C#m        F#m
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland

    A     D                 E
Who knows what I would have done

E
  A familiar voice

   D
  "Hi. Surprise.

E                    D
  I've been searching trying to find you"

E
  I couldn't speak

   D                 A
My hands reached for Martha's foolish ginger

E                     D
  We talked until the moon came up

E           D
  About how life without love

E             D
  Isn't worth very much

     A
Then I played this song

         D                  C#m        F#m         D
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland

    A     D                  G
Who knows what I would have done

         D                  C#m        F#m
If those harbor lights had just been a half a mile inland

    A     D                 E
Who knows what I would have done

D                 G
What I would have done

D                 E
What I would have done

E                D
  "Memories that we have yet" you said

E                   D
  "To make like our Burning Bed..."

E                             D
  Love, don't mistake that it wasn't safe

A
  On Martha's foolish ginger.
