The Dead Waltz Radical Face
Capo 1
All chords relative to Capo. Notes for Intro and Bridge not relative to Capo.
I think it's less confusing that way.

[G] [A] [Bm] [C] [Em] [D]
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
as I was [A]idle on the [Bm]porch
she [A]slept-walked from [G]your house down the walkway

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

she danced across the [D]water's [C]edge
but her [Em]feet, they didn't [G]sink

(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)
