"Lime Tree"

Cassagada (2007)

Standard Tuning

I won't even make an attempt to tab out the strings, but here are what I hear on the acoustic guitar

Intro

It's finerpicked but here are the chords

Verse

I keep floatin' down the river, but the ocean never comes

And since the operation, I heard you're breathing just for once

Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love

Em7 Dsus2 Dsus* * G|-0h2-0------|

You left another message, said "it's done", it's done D|------0h2-0-|

When I hear beautiful music, it's always from another time,

Old friends I never visit, well, I remember what they're like

Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies,

Em7 Dsus2 Dsus4*

Waiting to be asked to come inside, just come inside

Chorus

But I keep Go-oh-oh Go-oh-oh-in' out

And I can sleep next to a stranger when I'm comming down

It's 8A.M. my heart's beating too loud, too loud

Don't be so amazing, or I'll miss you too much

Em7 Dsus2 Dsus4*

I felt something that I have never touched

(I may be wrong, this part is tough to hear under the strings)

Everything gets smaller now the further that I go

Towards the mouth and the reunion of the known and the unknown

Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home

Em7 Dsus2 Dsus4*

You can move mountains with your misery if you don't, if you don't

It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two

Under the eaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit

Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth

Em7 Dsus2 Dsus4*

There will never be a time more opportune

So I just won't be late

The window closes, shocks roll over in a tidal wave

And all the color drains out of the frame

So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good

I took off my shoes and walked into the woods

Em7 Dsus2 Dsus4* G

I felt lost and found with every step I took
