Song For The Painter by Lost in the Trees
Song For The Painter
It's in 4/4, and the chords are C, Am, F, and G.
During the verses, it's consistently one full four-beat measure of C, then one of
Am, then two beats F, two beats G, and two beats C again before starting over into the
next verse.
The picking pattern is a great one to start with for folks who're having a hard time
with finger independence, as it's only the thumb and the index+middle fingers plucking
in tandem, like so:
C Am

B|-----1-------1-----1-------1-------1-------1-----1--------1----------------|
G|-----0-------0-----0-------0-------2-------2-----2--------2----------------|
D|--------0h2-----------0h2-------------0h2-----------0h2--------------------|

F G C etc.

The song starts with just the C pattern being played for quite a while, but when the
verses come in this is the approximate context:
C Am
this song is for the painter
F G C
who lost both of her hands
C Am
and this song is for the wanderer who
F G C
never came home again
As usual, listen to the song itself for a better sense of timing.--
This song is for the painter
Who lost both of her hands
And this song is for the wanderer
Who never came home again
And for all those with broken hearts
I know what you're going through
I had a true love once
But now they've gone and left me blue
So now I like to swim
To the bottom of the ocean
And there, I'll scream as loud as I can
Where there's no one I can frighten
So I'd do anything to cry
I'd do anything to cry
Let this pain fall from my eyes
And let time heal my insides
I shout out to my grandparents
Hope you find each other in heaven
I shout out to my grandparents
I hope you find each other in heaven
And to all of my friends
Sorry I left you behind
And if I ever come back home
Would you pour me a glass of wine?
I'd do anything to cry
I'd do anything to cry
Let this pain fall from my eyes
Let time heal my insides
This song is for the painter
Who lost both of her hands
And if I ever find my heart, darling
I promise to come home again
