Judy Collins - A Thousand Kisses Deep
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
E
The ponies run, the girls are young
Am
The odds are there to beat
E
You win a while, and then it’s done
F
Your little winning streak
Dm E
And summoned now to deal
Am G F
With your invincible defeat
Dm E
You live your life as if it’s real
F G Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep
[Verse 2]
E
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
Am
I’m back on Boogie Street
E
You lose your grip, and then you slip
F
Into the masterpiece
Dm E
And maybe I had miles to drive
Am G F
And promises to keep
Dm E
You ditch it all to stay alive
F G Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep
[Instrumental]
Am E Am E F Am
[Chorus]
Dm E
And sometimes when the night is slow
Am G F
The wretched and the meek
Dm E
We gather up our hearts and go
F G Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep
[Verse 3]
Am E
Confined to sex, we pressed against
Am
The limits of the sea
E
I saw there were no oceans left
Am G F
For scavengers like me
Dm E
I made it to the forward deck
Am G F
I blessed our remnant fleet
Dm E
And then consented to be wrecked
F G Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep
[Verse 4]
E
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
Am
I’m back on Boogie Street
E
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
F
That you were meant to keep
Dm E
And quiet is the thought of you
Am G F
The file on you complete
Dm E
Except what we forgot to do
F G F
A Thousand Kisses Deep
[Instrumental]
Am E Am E F Am
[Chorus]
Dm E
And sometimes when the night is slow
Am G F
The wretched and the meek
Dm E
We gather up our hearts and go
F G Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep
[Verse 5]
Am E
The ponies run, the girls are young
Am
The odds are there to beat
E
You win a while, and then it’s done
F
Your little winning streak
Dm E
And summoned now to deal
Am G F
With your invincible defeat
Dm E
You live your life as if it’s real
F G Am
A Thousand Kisses Deep
[Outro]
