Judy Collins - Test Of Time
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Anastasia, woman in the cold of the desert night
Em G
The fire in the cave is burning hard and bright
Three days her lover hunted on the plains
Em G
She never knew if he would ever come home again
[Verse 2]
C
So she could feed the flame of love and then
Hold him in her arms again
D
Make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart
[Chorus]
G C
A love that lasts is hard to find
Bm C
Like the harmony in an old design
Em D
But the love of a good woman
G C
The love of a good woman
D G
Stands the test of time
[Verse 3]
Woman on a cliff at the break of a winter's day
Em G
A baby at her breast and her lover far away
Watches the horizon for the curving sails to rise
Em G
Across the water and through the stormy skies
[Verse 4]
C
He returns at last from the battle field
Where death has marched with a Christian shield
D
She'll make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart
[Chorus]
G C
A love that lasts is hard to find
Bm C
Like the harmony in an old design
Em D
But the love of a good woman
G C
The love of a good woman
D G
Stands the test of time
[Bridge]
Bb Eb
The brittle will be broken and the supple will survive
Bb Eb
Men are born to fight in armour, women born to stay alive
Gm Eb Ab D
Behind every veil of tears there is a sister of a thousand years
[Verse 5]
G
High in a canyon where the city meets the stars
Em G
My face against the window and my dreams that reach so far
Back to the women whose spirits so fierce and fine
Em G
Whose warriors fought for a love like yours and mine
[Verse 6]
C
Oh, we are all the guardians
And everyday we start again
D
To make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart
[Chorus]
G C
A love that lasts is hard to find
Bm C
Like the harmony in an old design
Em D
But the love of a good woman
G C
The love of a good woman
D G
Stands the test of time
[Chorus]
C
A love that lasts is hard to find
Bm C
Like the harmony in an old design
Em D
But the love of a good woman
G C
The love of a good woman
D G
Stands the test of time
[Chorus] (fade to end)
C
A love that lasts is hard to find
Bm C
Like the harmony in an old design
Em D
But the love of a good woman
G C
The love of a good woman
D G
Stands the test of time
