Shearwater My Good Deed Winged Life G Bm I tried to save a girl I truly loved Em (E F# G A) And didn't quite know how to help her G Bm So now she's sleeping as her parents up above Em (E F# G A) Cry over things that they can't tell her C And when I did my good deed Bm Em I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness C But standing in the street alone Bm Em I just felt sinking sadness C G Girl, your dad will not us bless Bm Em So hang up your veil and dress C G Look at me and take one guess Bm D Where this best-intentioned love will lead us And repeat this for the rest of the song. Cheers!
