Mystery Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

  D notes in them: G becomes G (9 fr.), A becomes A7sus4, Em becomes Em7(4), etc.

Buy the _Swamp_Ophelia_ songbook if you want Emily's chord fingerings.]

[Each chord, or pair of chords joined by hyphens, is one 6/8 measure.]

D7M9 G D Dsus4 D Dsus9 D7M9 G D Gm D

Intro

(Handed down or made by hand)

D7M9Each time you'd pull down the Gdriveway

 I wasn't sure Dwhen I would Dsus4see you agDain

 Yours was a Em7twisted, blind-sided highGway A7sus4

 No matter which Droad you took Gmthen D

 Oh you D7M9set up your place in my thoGughts

 Moved in and made my Dthinking crowDsus4ded D

 Now we're out in the bEm7ack with the barking dogsD/F♯

 My heart the red Gsun, your heart the moon A7sus4clouded A7

 I could go Gcrazy on a night like toAnight

 When summer's beginDning to gD/C♯ive up her G7Mfight B

 And every thougGht's a possibilityA

 And voices are Dheard, but D/C♯nothing is D7/Cseen

 Why do you Gspend this time with meA

 May be an Gequal AmysteryD Dsus4 D

So what is love then

Is it dictated or chosen (handed down or made by hand)

Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years

Or is it just pop emotion (handed down or made by hand)

And if it ever was there, and it left

Does it mean it was never true

And to exist it must elude

Is that why I think these things of you

But I could go crazy on a night like tonight

When summer's beginning to give up her fight

And every thought's a possibility

And voices are heard, but nothing is seen

Why do you spend this time with me

May be an equal mystery

 Oh, but you like the C9taste of danger

 It C9shines like sugar oDn your lDsus4ips D

 And you like to stC9and in the line of fiC9re

 Just to show yEm7ou can shoot straight from your D7/Chip

 There must be a Gthousand things you would Gmdie for

 I can Dhardly D/C♯think of G7Mtwo B

 But not everything Em7is better spoken alD/F♯oud

 Not when I'm tGalking to you A7sus4 A7

 Oh, the D7M9pirate gets the ship and the girl toGnight

 Breaks a bottle to chrDisten herDsus4 D

 Basking in the Em7exploits of her thiefG A7sus4

 She's a very goDod listenerGm D

 And maybe that's D7M9all that we need is to Gmeet in the middle

 Of impossiDbilityDsus4 D

 Standing at oEm7pposite poles

 Equal Gpartners in a Amystery D Dsus4 D

 We're standing at oEm7pposite poles

 Equal Gpartners in a Amystery D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Gm D
