Gabriel Tab

by Emmy The Great


Hello. This is my first tab. Its pretty much the basic chords for the song and should be 
with a capo on the 1st fret.
Enjoy!


                   
gabriel this is the last
                   
chapter of our correspondence
                           
i hope that after time goes past
                        
you can remember me with fondness

                        
i think as i am thinking now
                         
of all the pages that have seen us
                     
laid out an ending in between us
                             
and we can walk them like the ground

                               
i know my fate i do not mean to fight
                        
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
                                    
tread softly on the words you used to write

                    
oh gabriel i see you there
                        
that day i met you in the orchard
                                
and i was younger then i wore my hair
                 
in bows across my forehead

                             
soon they will twist it at the shoulder
                                
and fix it with clasps against my neck
                                 
and i do not think you would know her
                          
if you could see what they reflect


                         
i've seen my future in an evening dress
                        
all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess
                              
remember me the way you knew me best

                 
oh gabriel i have kept

everything you sent me
                           
everything you put to paper but
                 
it's better to forget
                        
and fill your head with memories
                    
think that you will thank me later

                      
oh gabriel i wish that i
                                    
could pick you up and fold you like a ribbon
                          
i'd hold you always and in secret
                    
in the pockets of my clothes

                         
but this is how i live my life
                            
with all the parts that i was given
                            
this is the heart that i was given
                              
and what you're given can't be sold

                             
i see my future in an evening dress
                        
all wrapped in tapestry and fur i guess
                           
remember the way you knew me best

                               
i know my fate i do not mean to fight
                               
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
                                    
tread softly on the words you used to write

                               
i know my fate i do not mean to fight
                               
but you tread softly on the ground tonight
                                    
tread softly on the words you used to write
