Patchwork Quilt(Chords)

	        
          C# 
I never knew you 

      D       A      Bm 
But then who really did? 

                F#       E 
If you were at all like me 

      F#                      B 
You managed to keep yourself hid 

   Bm                   E 
A patchwork quilt of a life 

D            C#     C 
Memories embroidered 

D          A 
On your soul 

              C# 
So please forgive me 
     D           A     Bm 
For putting you in my song 
                    F#     E 
But the spirit she moves me 
             F#         B 
In fact she pushes me along 
         Bm                  E 
It's a patchwork quilt of a life 
D               C#   C 
Can't stop the river 
D              A 
Just let it roll 


         F#  
We were at Jones Beach 

       Em        A 
When we got the word 

F#                 Em      A 
Saddest sound that I ever heard 

F#                                 B 
The bluest note that nobody could play 

 F#                        E          A 
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage 

 F#                 E      A 
Tears of sadness, tears of rage 

    F#                D   C#   C 
But nobody spoke, we all felt old 

     D      A 
And in the way 

           C# 
So walk beside me 
     D       A        Bm 
Or above me, I don't know 
               F#       E 
These days it sure seems 
     F#                B 
I'm lost where ever I go 


 F#                     E            A 
God, how could you, I heard someone say 
F#                          E        A 
And what do we do with our lives now anyway? 
F#                                        B 
Now that our North Star can no longer be found 
               F#              E        A 
But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky 
F#                 E      A 
Hippies dance and babies cry 
F#                      D             A           B       
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel looks down 
          D                 E                          F# 
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars 
         B         B 
Bright lights, Dark Star 

         C# 
I never knew you 
      D        A    Bm 
But then who really did 
               F#       E 
If you were at all like me 
     F#                      B  
You managed to keep yourself hid
