QUICKSAND - MEADOWLARK

STANDARD TUNING

NO CAPO

[Intro]

F C D A

[Verse 1]

Born into your name

That love knew no shame

Happy, Happy

Living so happy

Your sister became ill

Knowing that medical bill

Is money, Money

Loans of that money

[Chorus]

So dawn to dusk, bricks in the dust

Work is a must, debt so much

And you know

This is going down like quicksand

And the market of us is no labour of love

Sold on the side, nowhere to hide

And you know

This is going down like quicksand

[Verse 2]

When you're ready to leave

Give your soul time to grieve

And stay, Stay

You were born to stay

For every brick you've laid

Those one thousand a day

Away, Away

Now gone away

[Chorus]

So dawn to dusk, bricks in the dust

Work is a must, debt so much

And you know

This is going down like quicksand

And the market of us is no labour of love

Sold on the side, nowhere to hide

And you know

This is going down like quicksand

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

Ooh

You never knew

That all your fears were

Coming alive

Oh Oh

You never knew

That all your fears were

Coming alive

[Chorus]

So dawn to dusk, bricks in the dust

Work is a must, debt so much

And you know

This is going down like quicksand

And the market of us is no labour of love

Sold on the side, nowhere to hide

And you know

This is going down like quicksand

[Outro]

This is going down like quicksand

N.C.

This is going down like quicksand
