        C           C/B            C           F
Felt so holy as the candle burned down to the bar.
                                             G     G*
And she filled me like her voice filled the room.
        C              C/B            C                F
Well my feet got sorta heavy, and my tongue turned to lead.
                                  G     G*
She was gone before I drank confident.

    Am               D
But Georgia, can you hear me?
          Am                   G      G*
I\'ve been crawling through the trees.
            Am                  F
Through the pines, through the pines.
                        G             C
Won\'t you whisper, that you remember me.

       C              C/B           C             F
Well I searched under rocks for the bird who flew away.
                                           G     G*
If I caught her, I don\'t know what I would say.
      C                    C/B             C                 F
Cause love don\'t haunt the tavern it\'s not drunk on the balcony.
                                     G     G*
It don\'t spill out at 2AM into the street.

    Am               F
But Georgia, can you hear me?
          Am                   G      G*
I\'ve been crawling through the trees.
            Am                  F
Through the pines, through the pines.
                        G             C
Won\'t you whisper, that you remember me.

        Am
I was a leash with no dog like a track with no train
       G
Well I hung by my hood let the wind have its way
       F                                     Em
I was lifeless, useless, as a corpse with no grave.
      Am
An ascetic, with no pillar or pain
        G
I was a, a shedded hair on a dead mare\'s mane
             F                                      Em
And from her fingers I dangled and danced along the stage.
       Am
Well I caught her when I was taut in the yarn
      G
And I yanked with all the strength in my arm
        F                                    Em
And she tumbled from the rafters and fell to me
So hard, to my arms.

    Am               F*
But Georgia, can you hear me?
           C                G    G*
I\'ve been calling across the sea.
            Am                 F*
Through the waves to your breakwater.
                       G            C
Won\'t you whisper that you remember me.

          C           C/B       C            F
When they seal you in oak throw dirt on your face
                                    G     G*
May a soft bark sapling sprout from thee.
         C             C/B            C          F
May your bones turn to wool. May your heart be a nest.
                       G              C
And warm the world the way you warmed me.

enjoy!
