Chords for Jackson Browne - Our Lady Of the Well (Live From Home)

_ Thank you, Emmy.
_ It's a pleasure to be here for the Women's Refugee Commission.
And _ this _ is a song that I wrote a long time ago about Mexico _ and _ in _ my sort of _ _
ideal view of Mexico.
And in recent years I came to think that maybe it was really,
you know, _ way too romantic [Bb] and [C] unrealistic.
But then I took a trip to
recently, a year or so ago, _ with Linda Ronstadt and I found the town that is
really the town in [F] this song. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] So it's really, I'm really happy to know that it
exists and that people exist [C] in the way that I [F] imagined them. _ _ _
Playing with me
today is my good friend Val McCallum. _ _
And this is called _ Our Lady of the Well.

[Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
It is a dance we do in silence, _ far below this morning [Bb] sun.
_ You and your life
me and mine we have [F] begun. _ _ _ _ _
Here we stand and without speaking _ draw the water [A] from
the [Bb] well. _
I stare beyond [F] the plains to where [Dm] the mountains lie so [Bb] _ still.
[F] It's a
long _ [Bb] way that I have [F] come.
_ Across the sand to [Gm] find you here among your people in the [Bb] sun.
_ _ Where the families [F] work the _ land [Am] as they have always [Dm] done. _ _ _
Oh it's so [Gm] far the
other [Bb] way my _ country's [F] gone.
_ _ [Am] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
Across my [F] home has grown the shadow _ of a cruel and
senseless [Bb] _
hand.
Though in some strong hearts the love and truth [F] remain. _ _ _ _ _
And it has
taken me this distance _ and the woman smiled to [Bb] learn that my heart [F] [G] remains
[F] among them.
[Dm] To them I must [Bb] return.
But [F] it's a _ long [Bb] way that I have [F] come.
_ Across the
sand to [Gm] find you here among your [Bb] people in the sun.
_ _ Where your children [F] will be
born.
_ [Am] You'll watch them as [Dm] they run. _ _ _
Oh it's so [Gm] far the other [Bb] way my life [F] has
gone. _ _ _
_ _ If you [C] look for me Maria _ you will [Bb] find me in the shade.
_ [F] Wide awake or in a
[Dm]
dream it's hard to [Am] tell.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ If you [C] come to me Maria _ I [Bb] will show you what I've
made.
_ [F] It's a picture for our [Eb] _
lady [Bb] of the well. _ _ _
