Brooke Fraser - Albertine
Standard tuning. Capo 3rd fret.
[Intro]
Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C
I am sitting still
Am
I think of Angelique
F
Her mother's voice over me
Am
And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent
C
And on a thousandth hill
Am
I think of Albertine
F
There in her eyes what I don't see
Am
With my own.
[Chorus]
F
Rwanda
C
Now that I have seen
G Dm7
I am responsible
F
Faith without deeds is dead
C
Now that I have held you
G Dm7
In my own arms
Am
I cannot let go 'til you are
Am C Am
[Verse 2]
C
And I am on a plane
Am
Across a distant sea
F
But I carry you in me
In the dust on, the dust on
Am
The dust on my feet
[Chorus]
F
Rwanda
C
Now that I have seen
G Dm7
I am responsible
F
Faith without deeds is dead
C
Now that I have held you
G Dm7
In my own arms
Am
I cannot let go 'til you are
[Bridge]
Am C Am
C Am
I will tell the world
F C
I will tell them where I've been
Am
I will keep my word
F C
I will tell them Albertine
[Chorus]
F
Rwanda
C
Now that I have seen
G Dm7
I am responsible
F
Faith without deeds is dead
C
Now that I have held you
G Dm7
In my own arms
Am
I cannot let go 'til you are
Am C Am
[Verse 3]
C
And I am on a stage
Am
A thousand eyes on me
F
I will tell them, Albertine
Am
I will tell them, Albertine
