here's yet another song i found transcribed in a different key (G),
capoed (II), but, i like the way it sounds my way, no capo, in A.
another song i wished i'd written, too, except lucy got to it first!
(a few years ago)
as usual suggestions, correction, donations are welcome.

THE TIDE
-Lucy Kaplansky
A E
A
There are demons in the water
E
There are devils in the sea
D
There are dangers in the current
A E
When the tide goes out of me
A
I could drink you under the table
E
I could drink you out of town
D
I could drink you off the planet
A E
Drink myself into the ground
A E
And I have nothing for you tonight
F#m E D
I have nothing for you tonight
A E
I have nothing for you tonight
F#m D
I have nothing for you
A
I was made to be a good girl
E
Carried buckets made of stone
D
Full of envy, full of sorrow
A E
On a tightrope all alone
A
And all the time I was on fire
E
I burned with every stride
D
And now I see this anger
A E
Is the horse I choose to ride
A
Now you say you want something nice from me
E
Well if you find it, take it, it's on me
D
In the meantime don't bother me
A E
The tide has washed the nice from me
A E
And I have nothing for you tonight
F#m E D
I have nothing for you tonight
A E
I have nothing for you tonight
F#m D
I have nothing for you
A
In nothing are the voices
E
And the pictures of my life
D
In the nothing of the sky
A E
Is an ocean made of light
A
In the nothing of my silence
E
Is a sad-eyed little girl
D
On a tightrope she is singing
A E
As she passes through this world
A E
And I have nothing for you tonight
F#m E D
I have nothing for you tonight
A E
I have nothing for you tonight
F#m D
I have nothing for you ...
