Chords for Laura Veirs - Rocks of Time (Album version )

[Em] Held a [G] crying maim [Am] in the dead of the night
[Em]
Back [G] was breaking, [Am] my arms on fire
[Gm] Brother came and said, [Am] you rest a while
Down on the rocks of time _
[C] Down on the rocks [Am] of time _ _
_ [G] Back in those days, [Am] how the hours dragged by
[Em] The sun [G] was a yellow [Am] slug in the sky
[Em] And then [G] in a flash, [Am] six years passed [C] by
Down on the rocks [Am] of time
_ [C] _
Down on the [Am] rocks of time _ _
Spring [G] kept [Am] pushing up the green grass
[C] High up [G] through the cracks in [Am] my pen lines
Love to [G] a lover [A] with puzzled peace [C] eyes
Down on the [Am] rocks of time
_ [C] Down on the rocks [Am] of time _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Married [G] a man in [Cm] sands [Am] of white
[G] Palm trees [Am] swaying in the tropical light
[C] My [G] feet were wet and [Am] my tears came [C] bright
Down on the [Am] rocks of time
[C] _
Down on the [Am] rocks of time _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] Saw a broken [G] woman [Am] who's man and child
[G] Swept [Am] away in a wave gone wild
The [G] hands of [Am] fate drew a cruel, [C] cruel line
Down on the rocks [Am] of time
[C] Down on the rocks [Am] of time
My _ _ _ _ _ body [G] kept [Am] burning up, my tingling [C] spine
My hair [Gm] gone [Am] silver as the old starlight
My mask [Gm] fell away, [Am] look into my eyes
[C] Down on the rocks [Am] of time
[C] Down on the rocks [Am] of time
_ Held [Gm] a crying babe in [Am] the dead of the [Em] night
My back [Gm] was [Am] breaking and my arms were [C] on fire
Then brother [Gm] came [Am] and said, you rest a while
[C] Down on the rocks [Am] of time
[C] Down on the [Am] rocks of time
[C] Down on the rocks [Am] of time
[C] Down on the [Am] rocks of time _ _ _ _ _
