Caroline Herring - Maiden Voyage
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   G    Bm    C    D(2x)
It was a maiden Gvoyage, she rode shotgun in the Bmback
We Cmade snow angels in the Dmotel tire tracks
The traffic Gthinned, it parted just for Bmus
Through rain and Cwind, through Dash and Grust
We saw the Emwhite dome, like a gleaming bCreast
But our eyes were on the GWhite House and to hell with all the Drest
The masses Emgathered, drinking frozen margaCritas
At the 8th and G Gsouth face, DCapitol Hill CanGtinas
CHORUS:
It goes like Emthis, you take your Chand
You lift it Gup and you put it on your Dheart
And there you Emstand
Singing, “TChis land is Gyour land, this land is Dmy land”
A little Gbody so packed with Bmclothes
DisapCpearing into hordes and lining Dup in useless rows
Of Gthree million people, aBmshamed and accused
Scared to Csay where they're from, angry their Dname's been Gused
I held my Emgirl as she fell aCsleep
At the noontime Ghour, at the inaugural Dweep
A man said to Emme, “You are living in the Cpresent moment”
And I felt Gshut out, cold, tired and Dall aGlone
CHORUS:
It goes like Emthis, you take your Chand
You lift it Gup and you put it on your Dheart
And there you Emstand
Singing, “TChis land is Gyour land, this land is Dmy land”
INTERLUDE:   G    Bm    C  D  
The privileged Gheld, while the masses Bmflowed
Just Clike a mighty river running Dthrough my soul
My girl Gcried for a flag, something Bmshe could understand
And we Cmarched through the street as I Dheld her Ghand
The good days Emcome, not just the golden Cdies
As the giant Gsleeps under cumulus Dskies
We sing and Emdance and scream our Cnames
Sleep the sleep of the Gweary and Ddrive home aGgain
CHORUS:
Honey, it goes like Emthis, you take your Chand
You lift it Gup and you put it on your Dheart
And there you Emstand
Singing, “TChis land is Gyour land, this land is Dmy land”
CHORUS:
It goes like Emthis, you take your Chand
You lift it Gup and you put it on your Dheart
And there you Emstand
Singing, “TChis land is Gyour land, this land is Dmy____ Gland__Bm__”C  D  G

CAPO: 1st Fret

G Bm C D

INTRO: (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

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

The good days come, not just the golden dies

Sleep the sleep of the weary and drive home again
