You As You Were Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Shearwater
Capo on 2nd fret


         E
When you fall at the rocks

At the bend at the river
         G#m
With the blood from your nose

Running hard on your fingers
            H                  A
And through the rest of your life


E G#m H A


      E
The electric charge

Of a change in the weather
         G#m
You were touching my arm

You were holding a feather
           H                A
And then I opened my eyes


       C#m
As the World goes racing, suddenly changed
                                                H
As the shock of the axe, it leaves you trembling
       C#m
Like a busting shell in the small of your back
                                                    H
Or a job that's hard on the cast of your little lie

And an animal life was surging away


             E
And you were back on the road

Through the worst of the Winter
           G#m
Through the Valley of Lies

Passing through like an arrow


             E
Oh , if your vision collapsed

And a storm from the river
       G#m
Like a golden medalion

Clutching tight in your fingers
           H
But on the slope of the edge
         A
Will you recover your life


          E
You could stand on the back of a shuddering beam
                                    G#m
With a pistol firing shots into the air
          E
You could run in the blood of the Sun's hard rays
                                            G#m
You could drive the mountains down into the bay
                                            H                   
Or go back to the East where it's all so civilized
            A
Where I was born to the life


         E
But I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
     G#m
I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
     H         A      E
I am leaving
