Caroline Herring - Maiden Voyage
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: G Bm C D (2x)
G Bm
It was a maiden voyage, she rode shotgun in the back
C D
We made snow angels in the motel tire tracks
G Bm
The traffic thinned, it parted just for us
C D G
Through rain and wind, through ash and rust
Em C
We saw the white dome, like a gleaming breast
G D
But our eyes were on the White House and to hell with all the rest
Em C
The masses gathered, drinking frozen margaritas
G D G
At the 8th and G south face, Capitol Hill Cantinas
CHORUS:
Em C
It goes like this, you take your hand
G D
You lift it up and you put it on your heart
Em
And there you stand
C G D
Singing, “This land is your land, this land is my land”
G Bm
A little body so packed with clothes
C D
Disappearing into hordes and lining up in useless rows
G Bm
Of three million people, ashamed and accused
C D G
Scared to say where they're from, angry their name's been used
Em C
I held my girl as she fell asleep
G D
At the noontime hour, at the inaugural weep
Em C
A man said to me, “You are living in the present moment”
G D G
And I felt shut out, cold, tired and all alone
