Chords for Joan Baez Rexroth's Daughter

_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Coldest night of the winter, working up my farewell
_ In the middle of [F] everything, under no belief to the spell
[B] _
Dreaming of the mountains, with the children and the stars
Clouds rolling from the brass, the [Abm] dark chords and the big tar
[E] My restlessness [B] is long gone, standing like an [Gb] old jack pine
_ [Dbm] I'm looking for [Abm] Rex Roth's daughter, _ _ [E] she's a friend of a [B] friend of mine
_ [B] Oh, _ _ a friend of _ mine _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Can't believe your hands and mouth did all of that to me
And they are so dainty, [Abm] naked for all the world to see
[B] That thunderstorm in Michigan, I never will forget
We shook right with a thunder [Bb] and then the pounding rain got wet
[Em] Where did you turn when [B] you turned from me, with your arms across [Gb] your _ chest?
[Dbm] Young looking for Rex [Abm] Roth's daughter, _ _ [E] saw her in [B] the great _ northwest
_ _ _ _ Mmm, the great northwest _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She said it was the wrong time, if I had found her then
I don't ask very much, I [Abm] feel across the road and a few good [B] friends
She [B] used to come to see me, she was always there and gone
Even the very longest [Abm]
love don't last very long
[Eb] [E] She stood [B] there in my doorway, _ smoothing out [Gb] her _ dress
[Dbm] Saying life is a thumb for [Abm] a melon, _ _ [E] so sweet and [B] such a mess
_ Oh, _ _ _ it's such a mess _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well [B] the murderer who lived next door seemed such an ordinary guy
He'd try and swallow what they shoved at [Abm] us, he'd run out of tears to cry
[B] I heard a man speak quietly, I listened for a while
He spoke from his heart to my wall [Abm] and then he bowed his head _
What is [B] real but compassion as we move from [Gb] birth to _ death?
[Dbm] Young looking for Rex [Abm]
Roth's daughter, _ [E] and I'm running [B] out of _ breath
Oh, _ _ _ out of breath _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Spring will come back, I know it will
And it'll do its best, so useful, so in danger
[Abm] Like a lion or a breast, [B] I think about my children
When I look at any child's face, pray that we will find a [Eb] way to get with all this amazing grace
[E]
It's so [B] cold out there tonight, [Ab] stormy I can [Gb] hardly see
_ _ _ [Dbm] I'm looking for Rex [Abm]
Roth's daughter, _ [E] and I guess I [B] always will _ be
_ [E] _ _ _
Always [B] will _ _ be
