Maybe Laura's most beautiful song..
CAPO: 7th fret
Intro: G Am E
Em
The tiny midnight caravan
G
Made its way across the black hills
Am
As I watched from a distance
C
The slow-going glow
Am
Their wandering you know
D
Made me pine
G
For the lamplight
C
Where you lie
E
Where you lie

Em
If I took you darling
G
To the caverns of my heart
Am
Would you light the lamp dear?
C
Would you light the lamp dear?
Am
And see fish without eyes
D
Bats with their heads
G
Hanging down towards the ground
C
Would you still come around?
E
Come around?
(Solo on the same chords)
Em
I believe in you
G
In your honesty and your eyes
Am
Even when I’m sloshing
C
In the muck of my demise
Am
A large part of me
D
Is always and forever tied
G
To the lamplight
C
Of your eyes
E
Of your eyes
