Chords for Natalie Merchant - Life is Sweet Live

[G#m] _ _ _ It's a pity [D#m] it's a crying [E] shame, who'll pull [D#m] it down again?
[G#m] How painful [D#m] it must be, [E] to [D#m] bruise so [C#] easily inside.
_ _ [D#] _
[F] _ _ [G#m] It's a [D#m] pity it's a downright [E] crime, it [D#m] happens all the [G#m] time.
Wanna stay [D#m] little daddy's girl, [E] wanna hide [D#m] from the vicious [C#] world outside.
_ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ Don't cry, [F#] [G#m] your tears will [F#] do, but so [E] dry your [B] eyes.
_ [C#] _
_ [F#] _ [G#m] Oh your daddy, [D#m] he's the Iron [E] Man, a battleship [D#] wrecked on [D#m] dry [G#m] land.
Your mama, [D#m] she's a bitter bride, [E]
she'll never be [D#m] [C#] satisfied, you know.
And [F#] that's not right, _ _ _ _ [B] but don't [F#] cry, you [G#m] know your tears will do, [F#] and I'm good, so [E] dry your [B] eyes.
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ [B] Oh they told [F#] you life is hard, [G#m] it's [F#] misery [E] from the start.
It's [B] dull, it's [C#] slow, it's painful.
[F#] _ [B] But I [F#] tell you life is [G#m] sweet, in [F#] spite of the [E] misery, there's so [B]
much more [C#] to be grateful.
[F#] _ _ [E] Well who [B]
do you [C#] believe?
_ [E] Who will you [B] listen to?
[C#] Well maybe, cause [E] it's high [B] time that you [C#] decide, in your [F#] own mind.
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ [F#] I've tried to comfort [E] you, [D#m] I've tried to tell you [C#] to be patient.
Cause they are blind and they can't [G#m] see, [F#] fortune's gonna come one [E] day, [D#m] all gonna fade [G#m] away.
Your daddy, the [F#] war machine, [E] your [D#m] mama, the long [C#] and suffering. _
_ [F#] _ There's never a one she [B] cannot [F#] see.
_ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _
[B] Oh they [F#] told you life is [G#m] hard, [F#] misery from the [E] start.
It's dull, [B] [G#m] it's [C#] slow, it's painful.
[F#]
But [B] I tell [F#] you life is [G#m] sweet, in [D#m] spite of the [E] misery, there's so [B] much [G#m] more [C#] to be grateful.
[F#] _
[E] Well who [B] do you [C#] believe? _ _
[D#m] [E] Who will you [G#m] listen to?
[C#] Well maybe, [D#m] cause [E] it's high [B] time that you [C#] decide, next time [F#] you make up your own, your own [B] switch.
_ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [D#m] _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _
[B] Oh they told [D#m] you life is long, [G#m] so be [D#m] thankful when it's [E] done, don't you ask [B] for more, [C#] be grateful.
