Regarding Ascending The Stairs by Lady Lamb The Beekeeper
Regarding Ascending The Stairs
Intro:
F C F C
G C
I cannot think of that song with this music on
F
And I never want to go
C
Back to Arkansas
F
Even if you've gone from there
C
Even if you've gone
F
You handled me like an infant skull
C
And I cradled you like a newborn nightmare
F
and I always long, long to go back there
C G
straight back down the hallway and up the stairs
F C
to that bed
F
I asked the deer, could the hunter she hear
C
come a'creepin, creepin, creepin, creepin
F
I whispered in her ear so sweet and sincere
C
but she was already dead a'sleepin
F
The ground where she lay was red, sour and stained
C F
and I kissed her, kissed her, kissed her before I turned away
C
and I always want to go back there, straight back, down the path to the place
F C G F C
where she lay
F C
We can close our eyes and cry out to the darkness, there is still this light
F
in us
C
There is this fight to be right where we belong
F G F
This ribcage, it is a staircase
C
Climb, climb it to my iris
F
you can live there, you know who I am
G F
You know who I am
C F C F C
I am your apple
F C
So open up the book and read to me your favorite passage
F C
And know that I will be right here and I will listen
G
I hear you
F
And I have heard you
C
For one thousand years

Then right back into Part I.
She puts some spins on the song depending on what version you listen to. This is, for the
most part, the studio version. I hope I have been helpful.
**************************************************************************************************************
Banjo version, I'm assuming you have a five string banjo.
This is the first grouping of the song. Pretty much if you know how to play this than you can
play the whole song. This isn't a song that requires finger picks and is probbaly more difficult to play
that way. Personally, I just pick and strum with my thumb and index finger. A normal guitar pick will work
as well.
[Verse]

B|----11-----11-0h1-11---11-|
G|----22-0h2-22-----22---22-|

[Chorus]

G|0-xxxx-0-xxxx-0-xxxx-0-xxxx-|

Then she plays chords during the break down and pre-chorus. Which are:
C G(open) F
D|2 0 0
B|1 0 1
G|0 0 2
D|2 0 3
G|x x x
Sometime during the G chord she will play open G like this:
G
D|3
B|0
G|0
D|0
G|x
I cannot think of that song with this music on
And I never want to go
Back to Arkansas
Even if you've gone from there
Even if you've gone
You handled me like an infant skull
And I cradled you like a newborn (night)mare
And I always long, long to go back there
Straight back down the hallway and up the stairs
To that bed
I asked the deer, could the hunter she hear
Come a'creepin, creepin, creepin, creepin
I whispered in her ear so sweet and sincere
But she was already dead a'sleepin
The ground where she lay was red, sour and stained
And I kissed her, kissed her, kissed her before I walked away
And I never want to go back there down the path to the place where she lay
We can close our eyes and cry out to the darkness, there is still this light in us
There is this fight to be right where we belong
This ribcage, it is a staircase
Climb, climb it to my iris
You can live there, you know who I am
You know who I am
I am your apple
So open up the book and read to me your favorite passage
And know that I will be right here and I will listen
I hear you
And I have heard you
For one thousand years
