The Everlasting Muse

capo 2 A lot of this song is just a bass line, so some of the chords sound a bit funny when you play the whole thing. It's best to try to play just the low strings for the most part. Em I want to find this girl I know I need to take her out D I set a snare in evening air Em Made of faith and hope and doubt I want to spend some time with her Learn the secrets of her trade D I wouldn't mean to cross the line C And look into the other side B Forbidden to my kind A Forbidden to my kind Em I need to hang out with my love The raven-headed sprite D I know I'll never dance like her Em Or keep her up at nine I need to hang around with her I need to let her know D Her cause is mine I'm but a slave C I look into her wondrous gaze B And taste the strangest core A And make the purest noise Em D Em What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain D Em I serve my window watching close, she will appear again G Still polishing her crazy hair F Still whispering curlies, drunk on song Em D If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place Em And steal a melody D 'Cause I need only see her face C A thousand worries fall away G And music rushes in Em Listen to the sound of life Drink deep of the day D Wait for her, but don't obsess Em She called beyond the way Winds will blow and stones will rage The music's always sad D Money tends to disappear C Beauty crumbles with the years Bm But music is for us Am Music is for us Em D Em What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain D Em I serve my window watching close, she will appear again G Still polishing her crazy hair F Still whispering curlies, drunk on song Em D If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place Em And steal a melody D 'Cause I need only see her face C A thousand worries fall away G And music rushes in Em D Em If I could only see her face and know that she was close D Em There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse G I left the danger for a night F I left the sadness for a day Em And know that I am in safe hands D She'll peel the filth and old cigar Em An everlasting song D She waves her money straight with zeal C I know she'll start without delay G A tapestry of words D A subtle gift to modern rock C She says, be popular, play pop G And you will win my love D A subtle gift to modern rock C She says, be popular, play pop G And you will win my love
