Salty and Sweet John Smith
Tabbed by Joe (tabs at stype dot org)
Capo III
[C] [F] [C]
[F]I'm a fishing girl, just a [C]lonely girl
The town in [F]which I live is [C]breaking water
I told my [F]mother, my violent [C]brother
All they [F]give to me is reason to [G]leave
[F] [C]
Imagine [F]my surprise, a pair of [C]ancient eyes
Set into a [F]face as old as [C]land
He stands in [Dm]front of me, he came out [Am]of the sea
He says it [F]hurts his skin to touch the [G]sand
He crawls back [F]into the sea, the air is [C]salty and sweet
A backward [F]glance by way of [C]invitation
I'm in [Dm]now up to my knees, the air is [Am]salty and sweet
I'll leave my [F]dress by way of expla[C]na[G]tion
[F] [C] [F] [C]
My man [F]don't care for clothes, the things he [C]does not own
They never [F]trouble him, never give him [C]grief
cause he's as [Dm]soft as silk, as pure as [Am]baby milk
And harder [F]than earth that he so [G]scorns
He crawls back [F]into the sea, the air is [C]salty and sweet
A backward [F]glance by way of [C]invitation
I'm in [Dm]now up to my knees, the air is [Am]salty and sweet
I'll leave my [F]dress by way of expla[C]na[G]tion
[F] [C] [F] [C] [Dm] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [C]
