Chords for Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - "Tangles" at Cafe 939 on 1/27/2011

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] This is a song that I wrote years ago.
It's one of the first songs I [N] wrote, but I only played it live maybe twice.
_ I really felt compelled to play it today.
[Bm] _ [C] I _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ was thinking about being a folk singer for a minute and sitting down, _ _ but_
But I'm not.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[D] _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ [C] _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ [C] _ [Dm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Time takes a year _ from [Am] out of our heart. _ _ _
_ Wait for [F] the bell, _ _ [G] _
this pain and [C] regret. _ _ _ _
_ _ And the bait on the line, you find the fish in [Am] the sea.
Your _ _ teeth take [F] the day, and [G] the day turns to strawberry [C] sweets. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] From a baby bird _ _ _ that you [F] _ _ crushed.
[G] _ It's [C] mama's fault, _ _ _ _ love me [Am] my fate. _
_ _ [E] Don't you be _ _ disgraceful.
_ Oh [F] lord, oh [G] please say, say I'm [C] so. _ _ _
_ _ I'm [E] immune, _ _ _
_ [Am] I'm immune [E] to no one. _
_ _ Love is a [F] luxury that I [G] _ can't qualify [C] for. _ _
_ _ Calling [Am] my name, _ _ _ _ and he [E] walks out my door.
_ [Em] Perhaps [F] I shouldn't hold it [G] so tightly [E] anymore.
[C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ [D] _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Get a smoke, _ _ fill the [Am] room. _ _ _
_ [Em] How [F] he _ _ _ [G]
stifles my [C] perfume. _ _ _ _
_ And the puce of the walls _ in your [Am] room. _ _ _
Make [F] for a pretty, make this [G] a pretty little [C] June. _ _ _ _ _
[Am] And I _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] see you, _ I never [Em] want to [F] see you again.
But I [G] long to see you [Em] soon.
_ _ _ [C] _
For a [Am] heart, _ _ _ it [E] is as dark and sad. _
As a [Em] single [F] laugh in a _ [G]
funeral _ [C] parlor. _ _ _ _
_ And my [Am] _ _ argument, _ it is [E] a _ senseless.
It's _ [D] picking [F] a penny, it's picking [G] a penny.
[C] From the snow _ _ _ _ _ and [Am] _ _ loneliness. _
Well she [E] can be a whore. _
I take her to [F] bed, I'm sure she won't [G]
be there [Em] in the [C] morning. _ _ _ _
_ Oh [Am] Lord, _ _ _ what [E] more could we be for? _
_ And [F] the _ bangles on [G] your wrists.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Oh [Am] _ Lord, _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ and [Am] the [F] tangles in [G] your hair.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] Oh _ Lord, what would _ [E] we be for?
Than to be [Em] the [F] colors of [G] your eyes.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh [Am] Lord, _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and the [F] notches, [G] the notches of [C] your spine. _ _ _
_ Nothing [Am] in my face. _
Don't you [E] fucking be disgraceful. _
_ _ [F] Oh Lord, oh please [G]
take it [C] in some. _ _ _ _ _
Cause what [Am] more, _ _ _ what more [E] could we be for? _ _
Than the [F] change clinging in [G] your pockets.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] The pennies falling from [G] your hands into [Am] the snow. _ _ _ _ _
[F] The pennies falling from [G] your hands into the [C] snow. _ _ _ _ _
