Laura Marling - Made By Maid

Capo 1st fret

[Intro]
E D A D A

[Verse 1]
E A D A
They danced like sirens, hoping the sun would come out again
E A
And I was born in the fog of that day
A
Could they hear a babe, under all that faith
E D A D A
Or have they forgot what it was they made?

[Verse 2]
E
Crawled out of the fog, found a river
A D A
Found a log and floated away
A
Didn’t think I’d be coming back this way
E
But my feet resolute, found their root
A D A
And brought me back to its place

[Verse 3]
E
And on the hill where I was born
E
There is a rose without a thorn
A
They cut it off each year and give it away
A
But can they hear a babe, after all these days
E D A D A
Or have they forgot what it was that they made?

[Verse 4]
A
So left to wander blind
E A D A
I find myself in cautious times, and they say
D
Love’s labors never lost
E A D A
But labor on to this very day
E
So I walk into the fog
D A D A
Find a babe atop a log, and all alone
E
Took him under, took him on
A D A
Taught him everything about the world I’ve come to know

[Verse 5]
D A
He blames me for every wrong ever he made
D A
I’m blamed for every wrong ever he made
D A
Forgive me I am only a maid
D A
Forgive me I am only a maid
A
But I can still see a babe
A
Under all that blame
E A
But I am forgot from the day I am laid
