here's yet another song i found transcribed in a different key (G),
capoed (II), but, i like the way it sounds my way, no capo, in A.
another song i wished i'd written, too, except lucy got to it first!
(a few years ago)
as usual suggestions, correction, donations are welcome.

THE TIDE
-Lucy Kaplansky
a E
a
There are demons in the water
E
There are devils in the sea
D
There are dangers in the current
a E
When the tide goes out of me
a
I could drink you under the table
E
I could drink you out of town
D
I could drink you off the planet
a E
Drink myself into the ground
a E
And I have nothing for you tonight
F#m E D
I have nothing for you tonight
a E
I have nothing for you tonight
F#m D
I have nothing for you
a
I was made to be a good girl
E
Carried buckets made of stone
D
Full of envy, full of sorrow
a E
On a tightrope all alone
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lucy_kaplansky/tide_crd.html ]
a
And all the time I was on fire
E
I burned with every stride
D
And now I see this anger
a E
Is the horse I choose to ride
a
Now you say you want something nice from me
E
Well if you find it, take it, it's on me
D
In the meantime don't bother me
a E
The tide has washed the nice from me
a E
And I have nothing for you tonight
F#m E D
I have nothing for you tonight
a E
I have nothing for you tonight
F#m D
I have nothing for you
a
In nothing are the voices
E
And the pictures of my life
D
In the nothing of the sky
a E
Is an ocean made of light
a
In the nothing of my silence
E
Is a sad-eyed little girl
D
On a tightrope she is singing
a E
As she passes through this world
a E
And I have nothing for you tonight
F#m E D
I have nothing for you tonight
a E
I have nothing for you tonight
F#m D
I have nothing for you ...
