Kate Wolf - Poet's Heart
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:     Em7    C    B7    Em  G  
I wrote to you someAmwhere in South Australia
A Fpoet's heart in the Ceye of a hurriGcane
I struggle with finding words to Amsing these days, I said
As Cif my thoughts are waiting in the B7wings for the stage to cEmlearG  
CHORUS:
And you in your elegance and Amhumour fill the room
Your Emlove and your conDcern
Your Canger at the injustice of B7man's narrowness and Cfear
I Dthank you for Em7being here G  
You wrote of love from the Amcoast of Mendocino
A Fpoet's heart Ccrying a fighter's Gtears
The children of your body spread Amout across this earth
Like Cmessages written across B7time measuring the EmyearsG  
CHORUS:
You in your elegance and Amhumour fill the room
Your Emlove and your conDcern
Your Canger at the injustice of B7man's narrowness and Cfear
I Dthank you for Em7being hereG  
I heard your songs reach Amout to California
A Fpoet's heart Clocked in the Coeur d'AGlene
Of the old men and the booze, singing Amout the truth in lives
Of forCgiveness and loyalties to B7friends
Constant as the endless railroad EmtiesG  
CHORUS:
You in your elegance and Amhumour fill the room
Your Emlove and your conDcern
Your Canger at the injustice of B7man's narrowness and Cfear
I Dthank you for Em7being hereG  
INSTRUMENTAL:   Am    F    C    G    Am    C    B7    Em  G  
So here we are joined Amfinally by our words
FAll poets' hearts Cclose though far aGpart
I remember how you said that Amlanguage is a knife
That Cspreads what we feel across the B7dry crust of someone's Emheart
CHORUS:
GYou in your elegance and Amhumour fill the room
Your Emlove and your conDcern
Your Canger at the injustice of B7man's narrowness and Cfear
I Dthank you for Em7being here
