Laura Marling - Blackberry Stone

noticed that the other tabs for this song are a little . . . . incomplete .
the difficult thing about the song is she has done many different versions with
many different variations on the lyrics ,
but the chords stay the same .

i Am using the latest version off “i speak because i can”

capo on 2nd

intro –
Am C G x2

Am C
well i own this feel
Am C
and i rode the sky
Am C E F
and i have no reason to reason with you

Am C
i’d be sad that i never held your hand as you lowered ,
G Am
but i understand that i’d never let it go
C
i’d be sad that i never held your hand as you were lowered ,
G Am
but i understand the world does what it does

F C G
you never did learn to let the little things go ,
F C G
and you never did learn to let me be .
F C G
and you never did learn to let little people grow ,
F C G
you never did learn how to see .

Am C
but i whisper that i love this man now and for forever ,
G Am
to your soul as it floats out of the window .
F C G
to the world that you turned your back on ,
F C G
to the world that never really let you be .

Am C
i Am lower now , and lower still ,
F C G
and you did always say that one day i would suffer ,
F C G
you did always say that people get their pay ,
F C G
you did always say that i was going places ,
F C G
and that you wouldn’t have it any other way .

Am C
but i couldn’t turn my back on a world ,
G
for what i like wouldn’t let me ,
Am C
but i couldn’t turn my back on a world ,
G
for what i like anyday

instrumental break ( not here in every version ) – carry on same chords

Am C
and i couldn’t turn my back on a world ,
G
for what i like wouldn’t let me
Am C
and i couldn’t turn my back on a world ,
G
for what i like i needed
Am
and i shouldn’t turn my back ,
C G C G
on a sweet smelling blackberry stone .
