"A Thousand Years"
from the album Burn and Shiver (2002)
by Azure Ray (Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink)
*First off, I must note that the high E string is NEVER played in this song at all.
*No capo is necessary.
*A fairly nice ballad with very simplistic picking that can be improvised or mimicked by listening to the
album.

Intro: F
Am
I'm saving all I'm not giving
D7omit3 C F
But it's overflowing evaporating in the air
Am
As I'm walking and no I'm not breathing
D7omit3 C
I'm not breathing only air
F Am
Cuz it's filled with words once spoken
D7omit3 C
By people everywhere
F Am
And I can hear all the whispers
D7omit3 C
That have lived a thousand years
F Am
It just took me being open
D7omit3 C
For them to reach my eager ears
F Am
Now they've reached my eager ears
A#
And I hope I'll be ready when my life
C7 F C
When my life divides
F
When my life divides
