Blackberry Stone Chords & Lyrics by Laura Marling
Blackberry Stone
guitar chords lyrics
Noticed that the other tabs for this song are a little.... incomplete.
The difficult thing about the song is she has done many different versions with
many different variations on the lyrics,
but the chords stay the same.
I am using the latest version off "I speak because I can"
Capo on 2nd
Intro -
Am C G x2
Am C
Well I own this feel
Am C
And I rode the sky
Am C E F
And I have no reason to reason with you
Am C
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you lowered,
G Am
but I understand that I'd never let it go
C
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
G Am
But I understand the world does what it does
F C G
You never did learn to let the little things go,
F C G
And you never did learn to let me be.
F C G
And you never did learn to let little people grow,
F C G
You never did learn how to see.
Am C
But I whisper that I love this man now and for forever,
G Am
To your soul as it floats out of the window.
F C G
To the world that you turned your back on,
F C G
To the world that never really let you be.
Am C
I am lower now, and lower still,
F C G
And you did always say that one day I would suffer,
F C G
You did always say that people get their pay,
F C G
You did always say that I was going places,
F C G
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.
Am C
But I couldn't turn my back on a world,
G
For what I like wouldn't let me,
Am C
But i couldn't turn my back on a world,
G
For what I like anyday
Instrumental break (not here in every version) - Carry on same chords
Am C
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,
G
for what I like wouldn't let me
Am C
And I couldn't turn my back on a world,
G
for what I like I needed
Am
And I shouldn't turn my back,
C G C G
on a sweet smelling Blackberry Stone.
