OUR LADY OF THE WELL – Jackson Browne Intro |G |C |C |G | G It is a dance we do in silence C Far below this morning sun C You in your life, me in mine G We have begun G Here we stand and without speaking C Draw the water from the well C G And stare beyond the plains G/f# G/E D C To where the mountains lie so still G C G But it's a long way that I have come Am C Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun G Bm Em Where the families work the land as they have always done Am C G C Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone G Across my home has grown the shadow C Of a cruel and senseless hand C Though in some strong hearts G The love and truth remain G And it has taken me this distance G C And a woman's smile to learn C G G/f# That my heart remains among them G/E D C And to them I must return G C G But it's a long way that I have come G Am C Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun G Where your children will be born Bm Em You'll watch them as they run Am C G Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone D If you look for me, Maria C You will find me in the shade G D/F# Em Wide awake or in a dream Bm C It's hard to tell-- D If you come to me, Maria C I will show you what I've made G F C It's a picture for our lady of the well ||:G |C |Am C |G :|| solo repeat Transcribed by Gerard Koot (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) Email gerardkoot@hotmail.com
