by Brooke Fraser


Brooke Fraser - Albertine

Standard tuning. Capo 3rd fret.

{INTRO}
  

{VERSE 1}

  I am sitting still
                
I think of Angelique
                        
Her mother's voice over me
                                            
And the bullets in the wall where it fell silent

  And on a thousandth hill
               
I think of Albertine
                                
There in her eyes what I don't see
              
With my own.

{CHORUS}
     
Rwanda
                 
Now that I have seen
                
I am responsible
                             
Faith without deeds is dead
                  
Now that I have held you
                
In my own arms
                         
I cannot let go 'til you are

  

{VERSE 2}

   And I am on a plane
                 
Across a distant sea
                   
But I carry you in me

In the dust on, the dust on

The dust on my feet

{CHORUS}

{BRIDGE}
   

          
    I will tell the world
                            
I will tell them where I've been
        
I will keep my word
                      
I will tell them Albertine

{CHORUS}

  

{VERSE 3}

    And I am on a stage
                   
A thousand eyes on me
                     
I will tell them, Albertine
                     
I will tell them, Albertine
