St. Patrick by James Yorkston

These, obviously, are just the basic chords: your life will be greatly improved by 
caution to the wind and experimenting around those shapes every once in a while.

DI (xx0232@1)didn't sleep at all last night
DI (xx0232@1)thought my heart had mastered the run of these seas
ABut (x02220@1)they appear not to care about calming lately
Bm (x24432@1)		AI (x02220@1)awoke with a smart and a look at the phone.
A (x02220@1)				GI (320003@1)swear that I would have called you if I'd been sure you were alone.
				   DAnd (xx0232@1)doesn't that drive things home?


DThe (xx0232@1)hardest time to forget is when sleep clears your mind,
DBringing (xx0232@1)up what might have been, and who's by her side.
AAnd (x02220@1)if I appear forlorn, that's the reason truly.
Bm (x24432@1)			AShould (x02220@1)I find myself a surrogate to keep the winters warm
					GBlame (320003@1)her for my former love and blunt her of her charms?
		      DBlunt (xx0232@1)her of her charms?


DOh (xx0232@1)dear Saint Patrick, I pray for some water
DJust (xx0232@1)let me quench my thirst this morning after.
AAnd (x02220@1)this girl by my side, well who knows the future?
Bm (x24432@1)			ABut (x02220@1)if I appear forgetful she's the reason on my mind
				  GIf (320003@1)you detect a smile it's as I dream of foreign lands
				DAnd (xx0232@1)letting things get out of hand
A (x02220@1)		DIs (xx0232@1)exactly what I've got planned!
