Chords for Miranda Lee Richards "First Light of Winter" from Echoes of the Dreamtime (with lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
I've been traveling _ _ [A] down [E] _
a dark road
_ [A] _ _ [E] _
Going places _ _ [A] _ [E] that no one knows
[A] _ _ [Em] _
Now I'm rambling _ _ [A] _ _ [Em]
across the basin _ _ _
Trying to get [E] back _ but _ no one's waiting
[A] _ _ _
_ _ Brace _ _ _ yourself _ for the first _ [E] light of the day
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ Grab _ _ the [E]
line _ before you hit the moon
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
There's a hunger _ [A] _ [E] that's _ deep inside
_ [A] _ _ [E] _
It's not for light, [A] _ _ [E]
it won't apologize
_ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
It's a wild beast [A] _ _ [E] _
that has a grip
[A] _ _ [E] _
And it won't let go, [A] _ _ [Em] _
make peace with it
[A] _ _ _
_ _ Brace _ _ _ yourself _ for the first light [Em] of the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
day
Grab _ _ the _ line _ before you hit [Em] the moon
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
When this storm arrives, _ [E] it's got a crazy eye
[A] _ _ [E] _
It has no mercy [A] _ _ [E] _
until it dies
[A] _ _ [E] _
Now I'm heading north [A] _ _ [E]
to Baton Rouge
[A] _ _ [E] _
Where the ground is dry [A] _ _ [E]
and the sky is blue
[A] _ _ _
_ _ Brace _ _ _ yourself _ for the first light [Em] of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
the day
Grab _ the line _ _ before you hit [G] the bottom
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And the _ ladies pull them _ [E] fast
[G] They said it would _ last, [D] they promised
_ _ Standing _ [A] _
_ _ _ in your _
[E] diving _ bed
_ _ [G]
Beneath a _ _ swerve looking [D] for _ solace
_ _ What [A] _
_ _ you had been down so _ long
_ [G] You knew it was _ wrong, you [D] felt helpless
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ And as the pressure _ _ [A]
starts to _ rise
[G] It's a matter of _ time you [Bm] _
arrive _ _ _ at [E]
the bottom
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
Feeling bad, _ [A] _ _ [E] _
feeling better
_ [A] _ [E] Gonna _ stop, _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
write a letter
_ [A] _ _ [E] _
To the _ government
[A] _ _ [E] _
I was happy, _ [A] _ _ [E] _
I'd been fighting _ [A] war _ [E]
in [Em] the name of [A] peace _ _
_ _ Brace _ _ yourself _ _ for the first light [Em] of the day
_ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ Grab _ _ the [E] _
line _ before you hit the [G] bottom
_ _ _ _ And [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ the ladies _ [E]
pull them _ fast
[G] They said it would _ _ last, [D] they promised
_ _ _ What [A] _
_ _ you had [A] been down so [E] _ long
_ [G] The pressure was strong, you [D]
reset
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ As your spirits _ start [A] to rise
_ [D] _ [G] Make your way toward the light [D] at the surface
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ Now you're coming _ up _ for air
_ [G] The coast is clear, you would [D]
survive this
Now you've lost, _ [A] now you're fearless
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
