Drinking Song Tab

Intro:
c (<- just the one note)
                  
I want to weave a musical spell
          (Am)                       (-e)
That leaves you unwell and thinking of me every day
          (-e)                                         
I want to play you a tune that leaves you marooned and troubled
             
Each time I'm away
                                                                    
Is there a melody that could lead you to me like a lullabied child that's asleep?
                                      
So for one moment in time, you'd find that you're mine
                      
And softly I'd kiss you and weep


                   
I want to write a simple song
               (Am)                              (-e)
that's so frequently sung that you call me to have the thing banned
    (-e)                                        
It's charm so endears that whole nations cheer and sigh
                
When you take my hand
                                                                    
Is there a melody that could lead you to me like a lullabied child that's asleep?
                                      
So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine
                      
And softly I'd kiss you and weep


                                           
'Cause I'm a gambler that just wants to lose 
                  
and be allowed to leave 
                                                 
I'm a traveler - with one last mile - my journey is complete
                                                               
I'm like a swallow that wants - one long last look - before flying east
                                                 
Last on my list - and then I quit - to kiss your lips and weep


                 
I want to play a silver note 
              (Am)
that fills you with hope
                         (-e)
And tames you to feed from my hand
  (-e)                        
A turquoise chord that invites you to soar
                   
And fly... to a faraway land
                                                             
A symphony that gently leads you - to sit and be still -  with me
                    
And grief doesn't frighten me
                 
The sadness try to blind me
                         
But I'm gonna kiss you and weep


                                           
'Cause I'm a gambler that just wants to lose 
                  
and be allowed to leave 
                                                 
I'm a traveler - with one last mile - my journey is complete
                                                               
I'm like a swallow that wants - one long last look - before flying east
                                                 
Last on my list - and then I quit - to kiss your lips and weep

 - solo -

                                                                    
Is there a melody that could lead you to me like a lullabied child that's asleep?
                                      
So for one moment in time, you'd find that you're mine
                      
And softly I'd kiss you and weep

                                      
So for one moment in time, you'd find that you're mine
                      
And softly I'd kiss you and weep


The (-e) chords are without the high e note.
