Morning Theft Jeff Buckley
tabbed by Jake Sibel
this is just a transcription of the chords to the song, it's not note for note. you'll
need to listen to the cd to get the feel of it, and figure out some of the fills, but
this is a beautiful song, and this should at least get you stated playing it. it should
be pretty accurate, but Jeff uses some obscure chords in his music.

[F5]Time takes [F4]care of the wound
[F5]So I can believ[Fm5]e
[F5]You had so m[F4]uch to give
[F5]You thought I couldn't [Fm5]see
[F5]Gifts for boot [F4]heels to crush
[F5]Promises deceived[Fm5]
[G#]I had to [A#]send it away
[Fm5]To bring us back again
[F5]Your eyes and b[F4]ody brighten
[F5]Silent waters, [Fm5]deep
[F5]Your precious d[F4]aughter in the

[F5]But what am I still to [F4]you
[F5]Some thief who stole from [F4]you?

[F5]You're a window, I'm a k[F4]nife
[Dm5]We come togeth[Cm5]er
[Bb5]Making chance in the starligh[Cm5]t
Meet [F5]me tomorrow night[F4]
[F5]Or any day you want[F4]
[Dm5]I have no righ[Cm5]t to wonder
[Bb5]Just how, or when[Cm5]
You know [F5]the meaning fits[F4]
There's no [F5]relief in this[F4]
[Dm5]I miss my beau[Cm5]tiful f[Bb5]riend
[G#5]I have to [A#5]send it away
[Fm5]To bring her back again [G#] [G#4] [G#] [G#4] [F5]
