Stay on My Shore
By Joan Shelley
[Intro]
E
(On the E chord throughout the song, there's an intermittent fill that’s 0h2 on the lower E string and 0h2 on
the A string.)
[Verse]
E
Stay on my shore, and don’t desert me
E
And if you go, the wind will blow you back to me
C#m B A E
And if your boat is broken out on the rocks
B A E
It wasn’t anger but a longing
[Verse 2]
E
We feed the birds, syrup and seed
E
So they stay near, so we can see
C#m B A E
Flashing red and blue amid the green
B A E
When the fruit has long since rotten
B A E
Rolled in the needles and wrecked our skin
B A E
Gave it all to be empty
B A E
Wrapped in leaves, wet and clinging
F#m B
In reeds, so holy
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
E
We split the cord
E
Of cedar and holly
E
And lie indoors
E
Let the smoke do the cleaning
C#m B A E
And sweeten our skin with the salt and a stone
B A E
There’s the pages of our story
[Outro]
