The Governess - Metric
Hope you like it and I'm open for any improvements!
Intro slide Em 2x (2nd fret,5,7,9,10,12,14)
-> And also for the verses
Em
Who did you say you were?
I didn't catch your name
Em
Falling down to earth
Down from a higher plane
Em
Oh, it's been decades
Say, what did you see?
Em
Oh, I've been so lonely
Won't you keep me company?
C Am Em 2x
Em
Do you remember me?
We met out on the farm
Em
By the fire, you spoke to me
And held me in your arms
Em
The songs you played for me
I long to understand
Em
All along the watchtower
And castles made of sand
C Am Em
When there was a wilderness, we wandered wild and free
C Am Em
Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief
C Am Em
What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity
C Am Em A
Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach?
A
Ahhh
Em slide 1x
Em
Do you remember me?
We spoke by telephone
Em
The bad connection had a meaning of its own
Em
Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done
Em
The worst was all for me
Not hurting anyone
C Am Em 3x
C Am Em
When there was a wilderness, I wandered wild and free
C Am Em
Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief
C Am Em
Wish that I was old enough to end the century
C Am Em A
Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach
A
Ahhh
Hope you like it and I'm open for any improvements!
