Innocence Maintained  
by Jewel Kilcher 
Transcribed by Elizabeth Timberlake 
 
  The tab remains the same throughout the entire song.  To figure out her 
plucking pattern and the rest of the lyrics, listen to the tape-it's 
fairly easy.  Enjoy! 
 
           D5 
Ophelia drowned in the water 
           D5 
Crushed by her own weight 
              C5 
Hitler loved the blue eyed boys 
           C5 
and it drove him to hate 
                     D5 
Birds always grow silent before the night descends 
      D5                                              G5 
Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend 
 
I saw a man with a hole he could not fill 

He couldn't make the world work for him  

and didn't work and still (??) 

There was a hole inside his soul           (same as verse 1) 

that whiskey could not still 

So he found himself a girl to love 

while babies choked in the windowsill 
 

        D5            C5 
We've made houses for hatred 
       G5 
It's time we make a place where 
   D5        C5            G5 
People's souls may be seen and made safe 
    D5            C5             G5 
be careful with each other these fragile flames 
  D5         C5                    D5       C5      G5 
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
