Until The Levee by Joy Williams
Until The Levee
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Em
I see a ghost out on the water
Em
I swear it has my face
D C
I bend and drink the lonely down, the lonely down
D Em
There's trouble on the river
Em
And whispers in the trees
D C
I can feel it all around, all around
[Chorus]
Am
I'm gonna stand
G D
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Am G D
Until the levee, until the levee on my heart breaks
[Verse 2]
Em
I'm gonna wade out past the shallows
Em
And breathe the bitter taste
D C
I'm gonna drink the lonely down, the lonely down
D Em
Let the current take me over
Em
Let the ruin turn to wine
D C
I can feel it all around, all around
[Chorus]
Am A
I'm gonna stand
G D
I'm gonna stand here in the ache,
A Am G D
Until the levee, until the levee on my heart breaks
Am
I'm gonna stand
G D C
I'm gonna stand here in the ache, the ache, the ache
D C
So go and let it break
D Em
Take all I can take
[Outro]
Am
I'm gonna stand
G D
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
Am
Until the levee
A
Ohhhhh
G D
Until the levee on my heart breaks
Am
I'm gonna stand
G D
I'm gonna stand here in the ache
A
Until the levee
G D
Until the levee on my heart... breaks

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Am

NOTES__________________________________________________________________
1. Arranged for a single guitar and singer
2. The recommended strum patterns (meta info) are a simple way the song can
be played over the original...
BUT the song is much more interesting and meaningful if you use more
complex rhythms. Experiment.
3. If you can, sing the whole song except the outro an octave lower. Sounds
great; adds interest.
