Stagger Into the Light Chords & Lyrics by Joan As Police Woman
Stagger Into the Light
guitar chords lyrics
i am a big fan of joan wasser, and although i do not love this ep quite
as much as her other albums (of which, i am sure, the deep field is chief),
this song in particular got a hold on me very quickly. not so swiftly
forthcoming was this transcription, i'm afraid (it staggers around a little
in terms of key), but i think i've got it all down and all right. enjoy the
music!
D // B // A // G / A /
D B
I do
A
Want every night
G A D
To feel like the eagle in flight
B A G
I do
D B A
And if you feel like you might
G A
Want to share this with me
D B
Well, I beckon you
A G
To me
F# E7 D7
This is an attempt to recover
B A Emaj7
The stone in the gold
B A E
And the ice, ever-crystalline
B
And the oh
C# F#7
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
E7 C#m B
That acts like it s lost its place
A F# G G# A
In this warring world
*Listen to me!*
F#m E A
Stagger into the light
F#m E A
Stagger into the light
D B
The earth is child
A G A
Treat her tonight as if she were infant
D B A
And you re her first springtime
D B
Remember the human peace
A G A D
Rips like tissue when trying to get the gift
B A
This gift
F# E7 D7
This is an attempt to recover
B A Emaj7
The song in the reed
B A E
How it bends to become you
B
And the oh
C# F#7
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
E7 C#m B
That acts like it s lost its place
A F# G G# A
In this warring world
*Listen to me!*
F#m E A
Stagger into the light
F#m E A
Stagger into the light
Cause I do
Feel like tonight could be every night
For forever
And I know you feel the same way
I do, I do
Send you eyes my way
We ll recover the warmth of the dirt
And the shine in the salty air
And the oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
That acts like it s lost its place
In this warring world
*gasp, sensually
Stagger into the light
Stagger into the light
