Start Jamming...
Hi, how are you doing?
Yeah, it's a bit of an odd get, it's quite funny.
I'm [E] like, I've made some really big things here.
These cameras are really weird, because you think they're like digital cameras, but they're amazing.
As long as your son doesn't poke you.
Yeah, I'll scrap that, I'll cut him.
Yeah, the slap face part is huge.
Is that good?
[A] I'm not really into these guys, the soundbites are kind of [E] amusing to me.
Roll cameras and sound and things.
And mark it.
[B] My name's Laura Marling and I'm going to play a medley of two songs called Don't Ask Me [A] Why and Selenus.
[E]
[A]
[D] [A]
[Em] I choose to stay [F#m] far away from the ones [Em] who think
Money is [F#m] money to share, don't [A] ask me why
[D] And I'll tell you [A] no [D] lies
[A]
[Em] Sonny don't [F#m] come here no more, he don't drink [Em] from this well
Oh he's done [F#m] with the world, done [A] with the girl
[D] Don't ask him why and he [A] tells me no [D] lies
[A]
Those of us who are lost [F#] and low
[E] I know how you [A] feel, I know it's not right, but it's real
I
[D] [A]
[Em] don't ask for [A] love and I don't beg for money, [Em] I'm just
Asking for [A] grace and forgiveness, now honey don't ask me why
I'll tell you no [D] lies
[A] [Em] Looking for [F#m] answers in unsavory [Em] places, on the highest of mountains, [F#m] on the [A] lowest of bases
And I still don't [D] know why, I still don't [A] know [D] why
[A] [C#] Those of [F#] us who are lost and low
[E] I know how you [A] feel, I know it's not right, but it's real
But it's real
I took the wind from the sea
I took the blood from an arrow
I took the wisdom of spring
I was thrown and blown [D] and tossed and turned
[Em] Until time found its [F#m] hand and called it an [Em] end
Me and time [A] we go way back when
I was a child and I always knew why
[D]
[A] I knew my name, yes I knew my road
And I stayed away [D] any longer
[A] And [D] still [A] I'm [D] lost
[A] Oh
[D] [A] Lord, my Lord
[A]
Those [Em] of us [F#] who are lost and low
[B]
[E] I know how you [A] feel, I know it's not right, [D] but it's [A] real
But it's [D]
[A] real
[D] [A]
[Em] [A]
[Em] I [A]
[Em] [F#m]
[Em] [E] [A]
[F#m] [A]
am from Salinas, where the women go forever
[F#m] And they never, ever start to ask why
My mother was a savior of six foot of bad behavior
[F#m] With long, long curly hair [A] down to her thigh
[D] [A] Oh my mother, oh my friends
Ask the angels, will I ever see heaven again?
Late into the evening they will take each other,
Screaming, [F#m] looking darkly to the back of [A] her eye.
A careless beast is bleating, that the air behind is breathing,
[F#m] That they mustn't ever look up to [A] the sky.
There are no answers,
There are found
Ask the angels, yes am I heaven bound?
Oh, [F#m] put it down to [A] me, I who speak awkwardly,
Any word of it is heard, [F#m] is not intended to [A] be,
Not for him, not for her, [F#m] not for them, and [A] not for me.
[E] Oh, and that [B] gun will turn before the sun starts to burn, [A] understand.
[A] Oh, [F#m] when the clouds roll [A] in, we start [F#m] playing for our [A] sins,
With a gun in my [F#m] hand and my son [A] at my shoulder,
Believe I will run before that boy gets older.
[E] [A] Yeah, well that gun [B] will turn before the sun starts to burn, [A] understand.
[E]
Yeah, well that [B] gun will turn before the sun starts to [A] burn, understand.
[F#m] [A]
I am from Salinas where the women go forever,
[F#m] And they never ever stop to [A] ask why.
My mother, she's a savior of six-foot of bad behavior,
[F#m] With long, brown curly hair [A] down to her thigh.
Oh, my mother, oh, my friends,
Ask the angels, will I ever see heaven again?
Will I ever see heaven again?
Will I ever see heaven again?
Punish them all for they speak too much,
[F#m] Hate the world for what [A] it did to us.
Will I ever [F#m] see heaven [A] again?
[F#m] Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
