Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
B Not one motion of her gesture could I forget D The prettiest bag lady I ever met AB Pushing her cart in the rain
Then gathering plastic and glass
She watched the day pass D Not hour by hour AB But pain by pain
If I was a basket filled with holes
Then she was the sand I tried to hold D And ran out behind me A As I swung with some invisible hands
DA I stopped believing, you start to move DA I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed
First Chorus. B, E, A (D if you want) x4
Second Verse. B If you're still looking for a blanket
Sweetie, I'm sorry, I'm no sort of fabric D But if you need a tailor AB Then take your torn shirt, and stumble up my stairs
And mumble your pitiful prayers DAB And in your tangled, knotted sleep, our midnight needles go to work
Until all comfort and fear flows in one river D Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself whole A And it makes you shiver
DA I stopped believing, you start to move DA I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed
Second Chorus. B, E, A (D if you want) x8
Ending. E, E, E, E, E, E, feedback x4 E, E, E, E, E, E, A, A, B x6 E, E, E, E, E, E, A E, E, E, E, E, E!
mewithoutYou's is, in my opinion, the best Muslim alt band. This song's been out since 04, and there still weren't any chords for it online, so here you go. A tab would be better for certain parts of this song, but I didn't feel like going like ------------------- for 20 min, so you're just going to have to deal with this. If you have any corrections, just make your own tab, don't email me, unless you know any other good Sufi bands, in which case, email away!
