The Everlasting Muse(Chords)

	        
 


A lot of this song is just a bass line, so some of the chords sound a bit funny when you play the 
whole thing. 
It's best to try to play just the low strings for the most part. 

Em 
I want to find this girl I know 

I need to take her out 
  D 
I set a snare in evening air 
        Em 
Made of faith and hope and doubt 

I want to spend some time with her 

Learn the secrets of her trade 
  D 
I wouldn't mean to cross the line 
    C 
And look into the other side 
B 
Forbidden to my kind 
A 
Forbidden to my kind 

Em 
I need to hang out with my love 

The raven-headed sprite 
  D 
I know I'll never dance like her 
   Em 
Or keep her up at nine 

I need to hang around with her 

I need to let her know 

     D 
Her cause is mine 

I'm but a slave 
  C 
I look into her wondrous gaze 
    B 
And taste the strangest core 
    A 
And make the purest noise 

Em           D                             Em 
What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain 
           D                               Em 
I serve my window watching close, she will appear again 
            G 
Still polishing her crazy hair 
                 F 
Still whispering curlies, drunk on song 
           Em                                D 
If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place 
            Em 
And steal a melody 
              D 
'Cause I need only see her face 
           C 
A thousand worries fall away 
          G 
And music rushes in 

Em 
Listen to the sound of life 

Drink deep of the day 
D 
Wait for her, but don't obsess 
     Em 
She called beyond the way 

Winds will blow and stones will rage 

The music's always sad 
D 
Money tends to disappear 
C 
Beauty crumbles with the years 
    Bm 
But music is for us 
Am 
Music is for us 

Em           D                             Em 
What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain 
           D                               Em 
I serve my window watching close, she will appear again 
           G 
Still polishing her crazy hair 
                 F 
Still whispering curlies, drunk on song 
           Em                                D 
If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place 
            Em 
And steal a melody 
              D 
'Cause I need only see her face 
           C 
A thousand worries fall away 
          G 
And music rushes in 

Em         D                               Em 
If I could only see her face and know that she was close 
           D                          Em 
There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse 
           G 
I left the danger for a night 
           F 
I left the sadness for a day 
              Em 
And know that I am in safe hands 
                D 
She'll peel the filth and old cigar 
        Em 
An everlasting song 
              D 
She waves her money straight with zeal 
              C 
I know she'll start without delay 
              G 
A tapestry of words 
         D 
A subtle gift to modern rock 
             C 
She says, be popular, play pop 
             G 
And you will win my love 
         D 
A subtle gift to modern rock 
             C 
She says, be popular, play pop 
             G 
And you will win my love
