Morning Theft by Jeff Buckley
Morning Theft
this is just a transcription of the chords to the song, it's not note for note. you'll
need to listen to the cd to get the feel of it, and figure out some of the fills, but
this is a beautiful song, and this should at least get you stated playing it. it should
be pretty accurate, but Jeff uses some obscure chords in his music.

Time takes care of the wound
F5 Fm5
So I can believe
F5 Fsus4
You had so much to give
F5 Fm5
You thought I couldn't see
F5 Fsus4
Gifts for boot heels to crush
F5 Fm5
Promises deceived
Ab Bb
I had to send it away
Fm5
To bring us back again
F5 Fsus4
Your eyes and body brighten
F5 Fm5
Silent waters, deep
F5 Fsus4
Your precious daughter in the
F5 Fm5
Other room, asleep
F5 Fsus4
A kiss "Goodnight" from every
F5 Fm5
Stranger that I meet
Ab Bb
I had to send it away
Fm5
To bring us back again
Ab G#4
Morning theft
Ab G#4
Unpretender left

Ungraceful
C7/E
True self is what
Am
Brought you here, to me

A place where we can
Am
Accept this love

Useless history

Unexamined failure
F5 Fsus4
But what am I still to you
F5 Fsus4
Some thief who stole from you?
Dm5 Cm5
Or, some fool drama queen
Bb5 Cm5
Whose chances were few?
F5 Fsus4
That brings us to who we need
F5 Fsus4
A place where we can save
Dm5 Cm5
A heart that beats as
Bb5 Cm5
Both siphon and reservoir
F5 Fsus4
You're a woman, I'm a calf
F5 Fsus4
You're a window, I'm a knife
Dm5 Cm5
We come together
Bb5 Cm5
Making chance in the starlight
F5 Fsus4
Meet me tomorrow night
F5 Fsus4
Or any day you want
Dm5 Cm5
I have no right to wonder
Bb5 Cm5
Just how, or when
F5 Fsus4
You know the meaning fits
F5 Fsus4
There's no relief in this
Dm5 Cm5 Bb5
I miss my beautiful friend
Ab5 Bb5
I have to send it away
Fm5 Ab G#4 Ab G#4 F5
To bring her back again
