here's yet another song i found transcribed in a different key (G),
capoed (II), but, i like the way it sounds my way, no capo, in A.
another song i wished i'd written, too, except lucy got to it first!
(a few years ago)
as usual suggestions, correction, donations are welcome.

THE TIDE

   -Lucy Kaplansky

a (x02210@1) E (022100@1)          aThere (x02210@1)are demons in the water
          EThere (022100@1)are devils in the sea
          DThere (xx0232@1)are dangers in the current
         a (x02210@1)              EWhen (022100@1)the tide goes out of me

         aI (x02210@1)could drink you under the table
         EI (022100@1)could drink you out of town
         DI (xx0232@1)could drink you off the planet
      a (x02210@1)              EDrink (022100@1)myself into the ground

           a (x02210@1)              EAnd (022100@1)I have nothing for you tonight
       F#m (244222@1)           E (022100@1)   DI (xx0232@1)have nothing for you tonight
       a (x02210@1)               EI (022100@1)have nothing for you tonight
       F#m (244222@1)         DI (xx0232@1)have nothing for you

       aI (x02210@1)was made to be a good girl
        ECarried (022100@1)buckets made of stone
        DFull (xx0232@1)of envy, full of sorrow
      a (x02210@1)           EOn (022100@1)a tightrope all alone

            aAnd (x02210@1)all the time I was on fire
   EI (022100@1)burned with every stride
    DAnd (xx0232@1)now I see this anger
       a (x02210@1)               EIs (022100@1)the horse I choose to ride

         aNow (x02210@1)you say you want something nice from me
            EWell (022100@1)if you find it, take it, it's on me
        DIn (xx0232@1)the meantime don't bother me
     a (x02210@1)                 EThe (022100@1)tide has washed the nice from me

           a (x02210@1)              EAnd (022100@1)I have nothing for you tonight
       F#m (244222@1)           E (022100@1)   DI (xx0232@1)have nothing for you tonight
       a (x02210@1)               EI (022100@1)have nothing for you tonight
       F#m (244222@1)         DI (xx0232@1)have nothing for you

   aIn (x02210@1)nothing are the voices
         EAnd (022100@1)the pictures of my life
        DIn (xx0232@1)the nothing of the sky
      a (x02210@1)           EIs (022100@1)an ocean made of light

       aIn (x02210@1)the nothing of my silence
      EIs (022100@1)a sad-eyed little girl
     DOn (xx0232@1)a tightrope she is singing
       a (x02210@1)                 EAs (022100@1)she passes through this world

           a (x02210@1)             EAnd (022100@1)I have nothing for you tonight
       F#m (244222@1)           E (022100@1)   DI (xx0232@1)have nothing for you tonight
       a (x02210@1)               EI (022100@1)have nothing for you tonight
       F#m (244222@1)         DI (xx0232@1)have nothing for you ...
