Woman - Shawn Phillips
Tuning: Em, E A D G B E
[verse]
N.C.
The glow
N.C.
Around your face
N.C.
When you see
N.C.
The lightning race
N.C.
I know
N.C
I'm very near
N.C.
And I can hear
N.C.
The thunder
[Chorus]
A woman
Of perplexity
A woman
For eternity
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man
[Verse]
I'm down
On my knees
And I'm saying
Please believe
me
It's hard
To fall out
Of love
Completely
It's harder
To find a way
To come back
Discreetly
To speak
Of things anew
To weep
In quiet blue
Brocade
Upon your bed
Memories shoul
d fade
At least of yo
u
A sceptre
Of ice and fir
e
A spectre
Of my desire
A girl-child
Of such loveli
ness
[Chorus]
The woman
Of my emptines
s
A woman
Of famed renow
n
A woman
Who kicks the
clown
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man
[Outro]
