Song For Our Daughter by Laura Marling
Song For Our Daughter
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Db Gb (x2)
[Verse 1]
Db Gb
Though they may want you to tread in their trail
Db Gb
Only to see if the path they set fails
Db Gb
Though they may want you to take off your clothes
Db Gb
Whatever they think that the action exposed
[Bridge]
Db Fm B Gb
With your clothes on the floor
Db Ab B Gb
Taking advice from some old balding bore
Db Fm B Gb
You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?"
[Chorus]
Ebm Ebm7 Ab
Do you remember what I said?
Ebm Ebm7 Ab
The book I left by your bed
Ebm Ebm7 Ab Db Ab Ab7
The words that some survivor read
[Verse 2]
Db Gb
Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old
Db Gb
All of the bullshit that she might be told
[Bridge]
Db Fm B Gb
There's blood on the floor
Db Ab B Gb
Maybe now you'll believe her for sure
[Chorus]
Ebm7 Ab
She remembers what I said
Ebm7 Ab
The book I left by her bed
Ebm Ebm7 Ab
The words that some survivor read
[Verse 3]
Db Gb
Though they may take you for all you had left
Db Gb
You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet
Ab7 Ab
So you wished for a kiss from God
Ab7 Ab Ab7 Gb
And you mourned in your childish loss
Ab Ab7 Ab
Innocence gone but it's not forgot
B Gb Db
You'll get your way through it somehow
[Chorus]
Ebm7 Ab7 Ab
You remember what I said
Ebm7 Ab7
The book you left by your bed
Ebm7 Ab7 Ab Ab7
The words that will outlive the dead
