Laura Marling (born 1st February 1990) is a folk singer/songwriter/guitarist from Eversley, United Kingdom.
She began playing the guitar at the age of five, first being taught the blues by her father in front of the family fire, and has been enthralled by the songs and lyrics of the likes of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, James Taylor and John Mayall ever since. It’s not just the “golden-oldies” that Laura admires; she also harbours a rather deep love for alt.

Tuning:EADGBE
essentially, it's a standard D chord that the intro works around
D my husband left me last night D left me a poor and lonely wife D and I cooked the meals, and he lived the life D and now I'm just down for the rest of my time D Oh he, Oh me, Oh My
A I speak because I can GD To anyone I trust enough to listen A You speak because you can GD To anyone Who'll hear what you say
Gb hmmm-mm GD I swear it was not my choice Gb hmmm-mm GD I Used to be so kind
Never rode my bike down to the sea never finished that letter I was writing never got up and said anything worthy, for he, oh my
G Graceful sleeper D Midnight dreamer GD I'm Floored by your sound GD I'm Floored by your sound
Gb hmmm-m GD I swear it was not my choice GbGD to reach out to someone wise GbGD I used to be so kind GbGD I used to be so kind
AGD At the breaking of the morning you'll be dancing on my soft lawn AGD when you're shaking out the anger that stops you from taking my calls AG D when you're running up the highway singing I'm the king, the king of you all AGD and you look back to where you started, I'll be there waving you on
never rode my bike down to the sea never quite figured out what I believe never got up and said anything worthy, for he, oh my.
