To play with capo, put the capo on the 4th fret
and replace the cord pattern on the left with the
cord pattern on the right:
(no capo) (w/capo)
   E   -----  C
   G#m -----  Em
   A   -----  F
   B   -----  G (try to muffle the high E string!)
--------
Patty plays it without the capo but with lots of open
chords like these:
     E:    G#m:   A: B:
e----------4----------------
B----------4------5---------
G----9-----4------6-----8---
D----9-----6------7-----9---
A----7-----6------------9---
E----------4------------7---
and when the chords below indicate E ... A E,
play the A by just letting up the A string and playing
it open for that one beat.
Here we go!!
 
*Verse 1:
--------
 E                         G#m
Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky
      A                      E
He's off to slay some demon or dragonfly
    E                     G#m
And he looked at me, that long last time
A                         E
Turned away again and I waved goodbye
 
B
In an envelope, inside his coat
     A                 E
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
B
Along with, a note I wrote
         A              B
Said "I love you but, I don't ... even know why"
 
 
*Chorus:
-------
                E            A E
But darling, I wish you well
                     B
On your way to the wishing well
                        A
Swinging off of those gates of hell
           B                    E       A E
But I can tell how hard you're trying
                 E
Just have that secret hope
                  B
sometimes all we do is cope
                   A
Somewhere on the steepest slope
                 B
There'll be an endless rope
             E     A E
and nobody crying.
 
*Verse 2:
---------
Same chords as 1st Verse except where noted
Well a long night turns into a couple long years
Of me walkin' around, around this trail of tears
Where the very loud voices of my own fears
Is ringin' and ringin' in my ears
    B
It says that love is long gone
       A              E
Every move I make is all wrong
          B
Says you never gave a damn for me
     A             B         B7
For anything, for anyone
*Chorus:
--------
*Break:
-------
         B                            A         E
May you dream you are dreaming, in a warm soft bed
             B                       A             E
And may the voices inside you that fill you with dread
         B                     A              E
Make the sound of thousands of angels instead
    B                        A          B  B7
Tonight where you might be laying your head
 
*Chorus:
--------
Slow, with feeling
And nobody crying,
Nobody crying
