Blackberry Stone Laura Marling
Noticed that the other tabs for this song are a little.... incomplete.
The difficult thing about the song is she has done many different versions with
many different variations on the lyrics,
but the chords stay the same.
I am using the latest version off "I speak because I can"
Capo on 2nd
Intro -
Am C G x2
Well[Am] I own this[C] feel
And [Am]I rode the[C] sky
And [Am]I have no [C]reason to [E]reason with [F]you
I'd be [Am]sad that I never held your [C]hand as you lowered,
but I [G]understand that I'd never let it g[Am]o
I'd be sad that I never held your [C]hand as you were lowered,
But I [G]understand the world does what it [Am]does
You [F]never did lear[C]n to let the [G]little things go,
And you [F]never did lea[C]rn to let me [G]be.
And you [F]never did lea[C]rn to let l[G]ittle people grow,
You [F]never did lea[C]rn how to [G]see.
But I [Am]whisper that I love this man [C]now and for forever,
To your [G]soul as it floats out of the w[Am]indow.
To the [F]world that you [C]turned your [G]back on,
To the [F]world that neve[C]r really let you[G] be.
I am [Am]lower now, and [C]lower still,
And you did [F]always say that [C]one day I would [G]suffer,
You did [F]always say that [C]people get their [G]pay,
You did [F]always say that [C]I was going pl[G]aces,
And that you [F]wouldn't have it [C]any other [G]way.
But I [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world,
For what I like wouldn't [G]let me,
But i [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world,
For what I like any[G]day
Instrumental break (not here in every version) - Carry on same chords
And I [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world,
for what I like wouldn't [G]let me
And I [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world,
for what I like I[G] needed
And I [Am]shouldn't turn my back,
on a [C]sweet smelling Blackberry[G] Stone.[C] [G]
