The Pearl by Judee Sill
The Pearl
Tuning:G C E A
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D Dsus4 D
I've been looking for someone
Em D C G
Who sells truth by the pound
C G D
Then I saw the dealer and his friend arrive
G Asus4 A
But their gifts looked grim
D Dsus4 D
Now I'm tired of hanging on
Em D C G
Waiting for a showdown
A7sus4
Don't you see I gotta ride 'em out
D
'Cause the pearl's just around the bend
[Chorus]
C G D G
Beautiful pearl, oh when will you reappear?
C B7 Em
Mysteries unfurl and become so clear
A7
When I feel you near
[Verse 2]
D Dsus4 D
I found a way outside myself
Em D C G
To make my spirit climb
C G
And I could have shimmied on up
D G Asus4 A
But my rope was made of wind
D Dsus4 D
I appreciate the words
Em D C G
But I won't be there at showtime
A7sus4
Don't you see I gotta ride them out
D
'Cause the pearl's just around the bend
[Chorus]
C G D G
Beautiful pearl, oh when will you reappear?
C B7 Em
Mysteries unfurl and become so clear
A7
When I feel you near
[Verse 3]
D Dsus4 D
When my backyard weeds grew high
Em D C G
I hoped that they would hide me
C G
But I felt that the pearl was near
D G Asus4 A
'Cause I thought I saw it shine
D Dsus4 D
I was looking all around
Em D C G
When I felt it there inside me
A7sus4
And I see a possibility
D
That its been there all the time
[Outro]
D Dsus4 D Em D C G
Doo doo doo...
