A Woman, a Woman, a Century of Sleep Emmy the Great
-VERSE 1-
Am E
I know, I know that I could live in
F E
Whatever house you choose to build
Am E
And I will model myself on it and
F E
Wait for you alone,
Am E
While you are out making a life for us
I will [F]stay and watch the [E]days go past
And I'll [Am]see how the [E]plants advance
And they [F]turn on what they [E]know
-PRE-CHORUS-
F E Am C
Now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown
They have [F]aerials they [E]feed from me and they [Am]grow and grow
and g[C]row
Now I am [F]shifting into [E]greenery now the [Am]pipes are running [C]bone
And you m[F]ight think I was a h[E]ouse but I am a w[Am]oman, a w[E]oman
-VERSE 2-
[Am-E-F-E]"Come back, come back" before you said
"Come back so you can see
There are roses in the flowerbeds
Where there never used to be"
[E-E7]
-CHORUS-
And a[F]ll my d[Am]ays a[C]re
[F]Fading [G]into [C]these
[F]Walls you [Am]made are [C]us
[F]But I [G]don't want to [C]be
the [E7]queen
in a century of [Am]sleep
-VERSE 3-
[Am-E-F-E]I know, I know that I believe in
Whatever brings you joy from me
But I've swept until I couldn't sweep
And this house is still a lie
Now I have to find a dress, have to buy a dress
Have to sew the dress 'til the pieces mesh
And I don't think I'm ready yet
And I haven't got the time
-PRE-CHORUS-
F E Am C
Now there is rosemary where previously no rosemary was shown
They have [F]aerials they [E]feed from me and they [Am]grow and grow
and g[C]row
Now I am [F]shifting into [E]greenery now the [Am]pipes are running [C]bone
And you m[F]ight think I was a h[E]ouse but I am a w[Am]oman, a w[E]oman
-BRIDGE-
But you say, "[F]don't be afr[C]aid"
And you [Am]try to [G]expla[C]in
How the [Am]best that [G]we can [C]hope and [F]hope to [C]gain
Is to [Am]love and then [G]be lo[C]ved
Is to [Am]have and [G]then to [C]hold
'Til we [Am]age and then [G]grow [C]old
[E-E7]
-CHORUS-
And a[F]ll my d[Am]ays a[C]re
[F]Fading [G]into [C]these
[F]Walls you [Am]made are [C]us
[F]But I [G]don't want to [C]be
And a[F]ll my d[Am]ays a[C]re
[F]Fading [G]into [C]these
[F]Walls you [Am]made are [C]us
[F]But I [G]don't want to [C]be
the [E7]queen
in a century of sl[F]eep
-END-
But I [F]know that I bel[C]ieve
In [F]whatever makes you [C]pleased
In w[F]hatever brings you [C]joy
[F]From [C]me
