Alfred Wainwright Stole My Gal 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Alfred Wainwright Stole My Gal G There are two hundred and fourteen, big and small C7 Mountainsides that she must crawl G Gdim7 D7 G Alfred Wainwright stole my gal She has all his books, all handwritten With his prose she has been smitten Alfred Wainwright stole my gal She’s become obsessed by peaks and fells Captivated by his lofty spells Alfred Wainwright stole my gal The vertiginous crags, the vicious cliffs Are all hers now no buts or ifs Alfred Wainwright stole my gal C7 Every weekend she’s slipping on scree G Wading tarns away from me A7 Her working week her life back home D7 Can all go hang for the right to roam She even stays up upon the heights Summits up if she stays all night Alfred Wainwright stole my gal But once you’re up one fell she said Might as well put the others to bed Alfred Wainwright stole my gal C7 Every weekend she’s slipping on scree G Wading tarns away from me A7 Her working week her life back home D7 Can all go hang for the right to roam Pawing maps and plotting routes Off too eagerly forgetting boots Alfred Wainwright stole my gal Instrumental: C7 G A7 D7 G C7 G Gdim7 D7 G I’ve been up with her but as you might guess It was always under severe duress Alfred Wainwright stole my gal She even makes those silly detours For the views overcast across the moors Alfred Wainwright stole my gal C7 Every weekend she’s slipping on scree G Wading tarns away from me A7 Her working week her life back home D7 Can all go hang for the right to roam With compass oiled the backpack stuffed If friends go with her they go up cuffed Alfred Wainwright stole my gal All the slog, the pain, the cold Justified by Loweswater gold Alfred Wainwright stole my gal G The relationship may never end C7 With this late, Lakeland legend G Gdim7 D7 G Alfred Wainwright stole my... G Gdim7 D7 G Alfred Wainwright stole my... G Gdim7 D7 Eb7 G Alfred Wainwright stole my gal

I'm In Love and I'm Furious 03:09
lyrics

I’m in Love and I’m Furious It’s happened again, like it less than a little I thought since last time, I’d grown strong Apparently that’s not the case, another likes me and wants to embrace Slowly squeezing time until it’s gone It makes me mad, it makes me cuss I’m in love, and I’m furious Another walk in a quiet Eden A rose in one fist the other one clasped Around the digits of her hand, slightly tighter than she could stand But that’s nothing to what we’ll feel, I laughed It makes me mad, it makes me cuss I’m in love, and I’m furious Trying to take back your heart Is an impossible art When the frame won’t part From the canvass that was painted in our prime… I’m looking forward to the pointless hours Staring in to one another’s eyes The clumsy arm around her chair, kissing her ear, then kissing her there But it’ll be another month before she’s at my flies It makes me mad, it makes me cuss I’m in love, and I’m furious

Capo 2 Pinned All My Pain (To An Arrow) C E7 Following the path to a brighter land Am7 D7 Lying in a meadow, it's all in my hand C G7 C G To a future dreamt but never there C E7 And now the maze has come apart Am7 D7 So have all the borders around my heart C G7 C F C G And the cage around my prayers F C C7 *Pinned all my pain to an arrow Fdim7 F Em7 Am7 D7 Good to see it fly on the straight and narrow C F G C I hope it's broke now, 'cos I don't want it back C E7 For I love it where I lie Am7 D7 Unfolding my arms and finally closing my eyes C G7 C G Now I can see the way it was C E7 I now longer fight, don't heed its call Am7 D7 Don't bustle with the bullies at the bullies ball C G7 C F C G Well that's the least of all my loss *repeat & instrumental C E7 Well it's much clearer now in these cleaner hours Am7 D7 A confidence blows through the tallest towers C G7 C G Way above the cellar I was in C E7 And it's good to know there's a park inside Am7 D7 Which I can use any time now the maze has died C G7 C F C G Another time to begin *repeat

Run 02:23

RUN G D7 G G7 There’s a light that flickers, falling, dimming C C7 G G7 Heavy now the grey rays of our Sun G D7 G G/F# E7 And it’s never felt so distant, winning A7 D7 G This cold is burning close so I run B7 E7 From you A7 D7 G D But why and where to? G D7 G G7 Let no one dress this cuts that’s open C C7 G G7 The wound was made before I was someone G D7 G G/F# E7 All prescriptions used have been token A7 D7 G And every step I walk I trip and run B7 E7 From you A7 D7 G D7 But why and where to Em Run, run, your face is wet Edim7 Dampening the towels of regret G D G D But I can’t be held responsible for how Em Allez, allez faites vos juex Edim7 One more game and on we go G D G D7 But this is far more pressing to us now G D7 G G7 We should talk one night over candles C C7 G G7 A vat of wine to ease the frost that’s come G D7 G G/F# E7 To be a footnote in tomorrow’s scandals A7 D7 G Would be the race, the saddest race to run B7 E7 With you A7 D7 G B7 E7 Would be the race, the saddest race to run A7 D7 G…….Edim7 D7 G Would be the saddest race to run
