Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Tanglewood Tree
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Am G Em Am G Em Am G Em Am G Em
Am D Am
Love is a tanglewood tree
D Am
In a bower of green
G Am G Em
In a forest at dawn
Am D Am
Fair while the mockingbird sings
D Am
But she soon lifts her wings
G Am
And the music is gone
G C G C
Young lovers in the tall grass with their hearts open wide
Em Bm C
When the red summer poppies bloom
Am D Am
But love is a trackless domain
D Am
And the rumour of rain
G Am
In the late afternoon
INTERLUDE: G Em Am G Em
Am D Am
Love is an old root that creeps
D Am
Through the meadows of sleep
G Am G Em
When the long shadows cast
Am D Am
Thin as a vagrant young vine
D Am
It encircles and twines
G Am
And it holds the heart fast
G C G C
Catches dreamers in the wildwood with the stars in their eyes
Em Bm C
And the moon in their tousled hair
Am D Am
But love is a light in the sky
D Am
And an unspoken lie
G Am
And a half-whispered prayer
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C Em Bm C Am D Am D Am G Am
BRIDGE:
Em C
I'm walking down a bone-dry river
G D
But the cool mirage runs true
Em C
I'm banking on the fables
G D
Of the far, far better things we do
Em
I'm living for the day of reckoning
C D G
Counting down the hours
C D
I yearn away, I burn away
C D
I turn away the fairest flower of love, 'cause darling
(## This part is sung counter-harmony duet to the Verse melody ##)
Am D Am
Love is a garden of thorns
Love's garden of thorns, how it grows
D Am
And a crow in the corn
Black crow in the corn humming low
G Am G Em
And the brake growing wild
Brake nettle so pretty and wild
And thistles surround the edge of the
Am D Am
Cold when the summer is spent
Dim dark hour as the sun moves away
D Am
In the jade heart's lament
Lamenting a lost summer day
G Am
For the faith of a child
Who nurtures the faith of a child
When nothing remains to cover her eyes?
G C G C
My body has a number and my face has a name
My body has a number, maybe my face has a name
Em Bm C
And each day looks the same to me
Each hour like each hour before
Am D Am
But love is a voice on the wind
This longing is a voice on the wind
D Am
And the wages of sin
She cultivates the wages of sin
G Am
And a tanglewood tree
In a tanglewood tree
