Shearwater
My Good Deed
Winged Life
G Bm
I tried to save a girl I truly loved
Em (E F# G A)
And didn't quite know how to help her
G Bm
So now she's sleeping as her parents up above
Em (E F# G A)
Cry over things that they can't tell her
C
And when I did my good deed
Bm Em
I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness
C
But standing in the street alone
Bm Em
I just felt sinking sadness
C G
Girl, your dad will not us bless
Bm Em
So hang up your veil and dress
C G
Look at me and take one guess
Bm D
Where this best-intentioned love will lead us
And repeat this for the rest of the song.
Cheers!
