Laura Veirs - Wide-eyed Legless

hey guys . i heard this song and loved it , so i thought i’d figure out the
chords . . . here’s what i got , so i figured i’d share . hope it works! here goes .

for the verses : G#m B F# E
for the chorus : B E G#m F#

1st verse :

G#m B
down among the dead
F# E
the wide – eyed and the legless , only half a head
G#m B
half a mouth to laugh from the porthole
F# E
with the more than faded epitaphs

G#m B F# E x2

chorus :

B E G#m F#
will you ever more tie up my hair with velvet bows?
B E G#m F#
will you ever more pull out the splinters from my toes?
i don’t think so

2nd verse :

G#m B F#
out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers
E
pumping poison through my veins
G#m B
lacking on the star – crossed lover’s map
F# E
take the beating lash , lash for lash

G#m B F# E x2

chorus :

B E G#m F#
will we ever more kiss on the boardwalks fading red?
B E G#m F#
in the light of the waves and the comets waning tail
i don’t think so

outro ( play x4 ) :

G#m B F#m
no more looking back , looking back , looking back
E
faded epitaph

close with :

G#m B F# E ( x2 )

and that’s it . hope you guys like it . i might also submit a tab version of it
sooner or later because the actual notes for it aren’t very tough . i just need
to get it in guitar form . anywho , enjoy .
