Made his annual visit to the Kershaw program back in May and he did, let me check here, seven live numbers throughout the program.
Among them, this.
[G#] She cut off her long silken [E] hair.
Okay, this is, uh, this is for, uh, the staff.
Midnight in the room
There was music [A] and [E] incense
[A] And mirrors [E] all around
By [C#m] the light of the moon
[E]
A [F#m] silver [A] dress slipped to [B] the ground
And [E] she knelt like Saint John
And invisible armies
[A] Attended her [E] there
And [C#m] a knife brightly shone
[E] As she [F#m] cut off her [B] long
[E]
[A] silken hair
[E]
[G#m]
Trapped I [C#m] suppose
[E] [G#m]
Lied for [D#] my sake
[E] [F#m]
Crushed [E] like the [G#]
rose
[C#m] That somebody [F#m] picked
[A] By mistake
[B] Oh [E] I knew it would come
Oh I knew she would leave me
For [A] some better [E] start
[C#m] Oh I knew it would come
She [F#m] was too well [A] rehearsed
In [B] her part
[E] And I measured my life
And my heart fairly broke
With [A] the sorrow [E] and care
[C#m] When she took down the knife
[E] And she [F#m] cut off her [B] long [E] silken hair
[A] [E]
Oh [G#m]
[C#m]
[G#m]
[D#]
[E] [F#m]
[G#]
[C#m]
[F#m] [A]
[B] [E] the song who believes
Oh the song who believes
There are [A] reasons to [E] lie
[C#m] And the song who deceives
[E]
And [F#m] the truth is right [A] there in their [B] eyes
[G#m] [E] But I don't see you or why
In all [E] of my life
I've [A] seen nothing so [E] fair
[C#m] And I don't see why
[E] She [F#m] cut off [B] her long [E] silken
[A] hair
[E] I
[C]
don't see [E] why
[Am]
[G#] [C]
[F#] Don't [E] see why
