Capo 1

All chords relative to Capo. Notes for Intro and Bridge not relative to Capo.
I think it's less confusing that way.

I like using bar chords version of the chords for G, A, and Bm. I think it
sounds better and it's easier to switch quickly between them that way, but
you can use the non-barred versions of those chords if you want. Doesn't
really matter.

G
I saw your daughter yesterday
         A           Bm
as I was idle on the porch
    A                 G
she slept-walked from your house down the walkway
                A              Bm 
as though she'd done it all before
        A        G
and the moon was out


Interlude:
A Bm   A G   A Bm   A G


and in her gown beside the riverbed
    A               Bm
she got down on her knees
                     A          G                     
and wrapped her long hair up in vines, and leaves, and branches
             A                Bm
and with the wind beneath her feet
        A
oh, she waltzed with the dead


Interlude:
C Em D C Em

                  G
as the impossible began
                      D       C 
she danced across the water's edge
        Em                G
but her feet, they didn't sink
              D     C    Em    D    G
as though she flew


(optional guitar part. i wanted to include the vocal melody in the guitar
because it sounds cool, but it's kind of hard to play smoothly and it's not
really necessary if you're singing)
