Capo 8th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I don't believe in an interventionist God

But I know, darling, that you do

But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him

Not to intervene when it came to you

Not to touch a hair on your head

To leave you as you are

And if He felt He had to direct you

Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels

But looking at you I wonder if that's true

But if I did I would summon them together

And ask them to watch over you

To each burn a candle for you

To make bright and clear your path

And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love

And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms

And I believe in Love

And I know that you do too

And I believe in some kind of path

That we can walk down, me and you

So keep your candles burning

And make her journey bright and pure

That she will keep returning

Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms, O Lord

Into my arms

2. Lime-Tree Arbour

The boatman calls from the lake

A lone loon dives upon the water

I put my hand over hers

Down in the lime-tree arbour

The wind in the trees is whispering

Whispering low that I love her

She puts her hand over mine

Down in the lime-tree arbour

Chorus

Through every breath that I breathe

And every place I go

There is a hand that protects me

And I do love her so

Repeat the same chords through the

others lyrics and chorus

3. People Ain't No Good

Intro

People just ain't no good

I think that's well understood

You can see it everywhere you look

People just ain't no good

People they ain't no good

To our love send a dozen white lilies

4. Brompton Oratory

Up those stone steps I climb

Hail this joyful day¥s return

Into its great shadowed vault I go

Hail the Pente costal morn

and so it goes...

5. There Is A Kingdom

Intro

Verse

(same as intro)

Just like a bird that sings up the sun

In a dawn so very dark

Such is my love for you

Such is my love

Chorus

There is a kingdom

There is a king

The bridge, I don't know exactly, but just play around in F minor.

6. (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?

(a)I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near

I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here

Are you my destiny? Is this how you'll appear?

W rapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?

Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor

Are (d)you the one that I've been waiting for?(a)

O we will know, won't we?

The sta rs will explode (a)in the sky

But they don't, do they?

Stars have their moment and then they (a)die

7. Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere?

I remember a girl so very well

The carnival drum all mad in the air

Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell

O where do we go now but nowhere

In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun

And then we fucked it down again

Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down

Going round and around but nowhere

The kitten that padded and purred on my lap

Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear

I turn the other cheek and you lay into that

O where do we go now but nowhere

Chorus

O wake up my love my lover wake up

O wake up my love my lover wake up

And so on with the other verses and chorus...

8. West Country Girl

Intro

(a)With a crooked smile and a heart-shaped face

Comes from the West country where the birds sing bass

She¥s got a house-big heart where we all live

and plead and council and forgive

9. Black Hair

Intro

/ a few times

Last night my kisses were banked in black hair

And in my bed, my lover, her hair was midnight black

And all her (e)mystery dwelled within her (a)black hair

And her black hair framed happy

face

Today she took train to the West

They're taking me down my friend

and as they usher me off to my end

will I bid you adieu?

Or be seeing you soon?

If what they say round here is true

then we'll meet again

me and you.

11. Far From Me

Chorus 1

you were my mad little lover

in a world where everybody fucks everybody else over

you are so far from me

so far from me

far from me

(For other choruses)

so far from me

so far from me

way across some cold, neurotic sea
