Indigo Girls - Ozilline

ozilline ( A . ray )

strum A D chord before you start singing .

D
oh ozilline , the moon is almost full
G
and you don’t need a torch light
D
to see into these woods
D
sister , bring the medicine
to keep you from decline ,
G
but it’s the waxing and the waning
D
that’s always on your mind .

C G D
oh ozilline , i feel for you .

D
as soon as the corn’s in ,
the deer will come to feed .
G
when the berry ripens ,
D
the bird will come to eat .
D
build by the river ,
its pretty but you’ll pay ,
G
’cause the springtime brings the flood plain
D
or your cutbank washes away .

C G D
oh ozilline , i feel for you .

i had to put the dog down ,
before i hit the road ,
i watched that sweet old life
become a bag of bones .

when your body’s broken
and your heart wants to give in ,
and you hear that hoot owl callin’
just like she was a friend .

oh ozilline , i feel for you .
