Birch ballad



Merci à Jeremy Burton de l'aide apportée pour la retranscription des paroles de cette chanson.

Utiliser un capo à la 2ème frette (E = D ; B = A ; F#m = Em ; A = G).

Le modèle pour le riff de guitare joué en Intro (+ fin des couplets) est noté ci-dessous :

   (E*)                  (E*)
E |-2p0---0---2p0---0---|-2p0---0---2p0---0---|
B |-----3---3-----3---3-|-----3---3-----3---3-|
G |---------------------|---------------------|
D |-0---0-----0---0-----|-0---0-----0---0-----|
A |---------------------|---------------------|
E |---------------------|---------------------|
    .   .     .   .       .   .     .   .
Ainsi que la variante pour l'Outro :

    .   .     .   .       .   .     .   .
Et voici l'accompagnement en picking (modèle simplifié pour chaque accord) :
Capo 2
   (B)                                   (F#m)                 (F#m/g#)

/ Intro /

I set out one morning to go and find your life
For it was my intention to one day be your wife
It was my intention to have you as my own
And so I made a road to you and went that way alone

I knew, to be completely yours, that everything should go
I undressed and stood there in the cold and falling snow
I undressed and made my parents too ashamed of me
To ever love what I once was, what I am to be


You see me through your window, you see me in the dark
You gently pull the curtain too, and vivisect your heart
The hatred that you feel for you is equalled only by
The love that's curled here rising in the hollow of my eye


Will we meet and will we speak, and will I be your life ?
The wind it makes my flower weep, the rain it cuts my mind
I'm eating you, I'm feeling you – your old life it is gone
Because I made a road to you and came that way alone
(Because I made a road to you and came that way alone)
