Innocence Maintained
by Jewel Kilcher
The tab remains the same throughout the entire song. To figure out her
plucking pattern and the rest of the lyrics, listen to the tape-it's
fairly easy. Enjoy!
Ophelia drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight
Hitler loved the blue eyed boys
and it drove him to hate
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend
I saw a man with a hole he could not fill
He couldn't make the world work for him
and didn't work and still (??)
There was a hole inside his soul (same as verse 1)
that whiskey could not still
So he found himself a girl to love
while babies choked in the windowsill
We've made houses for hatred
It's time we make a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
be careful with each other these fragile flames
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
