Devonside Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  GBy CDevonside, she was a-marcGhin'

  GIt was a Cgang of no great sGize

  Gand "SurrBmender" was the baCnner that she carriGed

  Gand hunDgry was the shiCver in her eGyes.

(same for the rest of the song)

She met a boy, whose health was failing

She threw down her banner, and took her prize,

And the only food she had was bread and morphine

He fed on the shiver in her eyes

(solo over same chords - 1 verse long)

By Devonside, his love was drifting,

He looked for comfort, otherwise

And there never was a rope or chain about him

She held him with the shiver in her eyes

And she said, "My John, I'll be your pillow."

"I'll be your lover, mother, whore and wife."

And he knew that he had loved and never seen her,

When the light fell from the shiver in her eyes.

Great resource, by the way.
