The Dancer PJ Harvey
On the album, the guitar is strummed quite fast and it is easier to play if you place
pick on the last frets of the
fretboard rather than the body of the guitar like you normally would. On her latest live
however, P.J.Harvey
plays only the intro (if there is one) and the part from "My love will stay till the
bed run dry" until "The man is
gone and heaven only knows" this fast.
Chords:

The song basically consists of two chord patterns, Am G F E and Am Dm E.
Intro:
Am G F E X 2
He came [Am]riding fast like a [Dm]phoenix out of fire fl[E]ames
He came [Am]dressed in black with [Dm]a cross bearing my nam[E]e
He came [Am]bathed in light and [Dm]splendor and glo[E]ry
I can't [Am]believe what the lord has [Dm]finally sent me[E]
Am Dm E X 2
He said [Am]dance for me, fan[Dm]ciulla gentil[E]
He said [Am]laugh a while, I can [Dm]make your heart fee[E]l
He said [Am]fly with me, touch the [Dm]face of the true go[E]d
And then [Am]cry with joy at the [Dm]depth of my lo[E]ve
[Am]Cause I've prayed days, [Dm]I've prayed nights
[E]For the lord just to send me home some sign
[Am]I've looked long, [Dm]I've looked far
[E]To bring peace to my black and empty h[Am]eart
[Dm]Ah, [E]Ah, [E]Ah, [Am]Ah, [Dm]Ah, [E]Ah, [E]Aaaaah
Am G F E X 4
My l[Am]ove will stay till the [Dm]river bed run dr[E]y
And my [Am]love lasts long as the [Dm]sunshine blue s[E]ky
I l[Am]ove him longer as [Dm]each damn day go[E]es
The [Am]man is gone and [Dm]heaven only k[E]nows
[Am]Cause I've cried days, [G]I've cried nights
[F]For the lord ju[E]st to send me up some sign
[Am]Is he near? [G]Is he far?
[F]Bring peace to m[E]y black and empty heart
[Am]So long day, [G]so long night
[F]Oh lord, be n[E]ear me tonight
[Am]Is he near? [G]Is he far?
[F]Bring peace to my [E]black and empty heart
[Am]Aaa[G]aa[F]h[E]
[Am] [G] [F] [E]
End with an Am. Enjoy, Vaggs ;)
