Hope in the Air Laura Marling Capo 4 Tuning: D A D F A D Tabbed from Owl Parliament [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xqSZUT6fYY] Since many of the underlying notes are difficult to hear in this recording, I?ve tabbed gist of the song ? hopefully I can put together a more complete version when the album out in March. Thanks!

Be scared of living Our hearts are small and ever thinning There is no hope ever of winning So why fear death? Be scared of living I have seen men provoked I have watched lives revoked And I looked at my life and I choked And from there, no more ever I have spoke But I can't give up that quick My life is a candle and a wick You can't put it out but you can't break it down In the end, we are waiting to be lit There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But no hope for me, your life serving daughter A friend is a friend forever And a good one will never leave, never But you?ve never been south and what rolls of your mouth You will never understand, ever Speak minds handed down to you By the lies handed down by your truth Your angels that dance at your will Will mask your scrambling youth I forgave you your shortcomings And ignored your childish behavior Laid a kiss on your head And before I left said, "Stay away from fleeting favor" There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But sadly not me, your life serving daughter Oh, pick up your rope, Lord Sling it to me If we are to battle, I must not be weak. And give us your strength, World and your food and your water Oh I am your savior, Your life serving daughter There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But sadly not me, your life serving daughter There's hope in the air There's hope in the water But no hope for me, your life serving daughter
