Hymn to Her


C

Let me inside you

F

Into your room

Am

I've heard it's lined

F C

With the things you don't show.


C

Lay me beside you

F

Down on the Floor

Am

I've been your lover

F C

From the womb to the tomb

F Am

I dress as your daughter

F C

When the moon becomes round

F Am

You be my mother

F C

When everything's gone


C Em F

And she will always carry on

C

Something is lost

G

But something is found

C Em F

They will keep on speaking her name

C

Some things change

G

Some stay the same


C

Keep backoning to me

F

From behind that close door

Am F

The maid and the mother

F C

And the crone that's grown old


C

I hear you voice

F

Coming out of that hole

F Am

I listen to you

F C

And I want some more

F Am

I listen to you

F C

And I want some more


C Em F

And she will always carry on

C

Something is lost

G

But something is found

C Em F

They will keep on speaking her name

C

Some things change

G

Some stay the same


C

Let me inside you

F
