The Sorrowful Wife (by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)
Album: No More Shall We Part
VERSE 1
I married my wife on the day of the eclipse
Dm
Our friends awarded her courage with gifts
Am
Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts
G
I look to my sorrowful wife
F G Am
Who is quietly tending her flowers
Dm G
Who is quietly tending her ...
INSTRUMENTAL [Am-Dm x2 / F-G-Am-Dm / Am-Dm]
VERSE 2
Am
The water is high on the beckoning river
Dm
And I made her a promise I could not deliver
Am
And the cry of the birds, sends a terrible shiver
G
Through me and my sorrowful wife
F G Am
Who is shifting the furniture around
Dm G (Am)
Who is shifting the furniture around ...
INSTRUMENTAL [Am-Dm x2 / F-G-Am-Dm / Am-Dm]
VERSE 3
Am
Now we sit beneath the knotted yew
Dm
And the bluebells bob up around our shoes
Am
And the task of remembering those telltale clues
G
Goes to my sorrowful wife
F G Am
Who is counting the days on her fingers
Dm G
Who is counting the days on her ...
(PIANO is playing within an Am chord)
THEN ...
BUILD-UP TO OUTRO (Dm)
OUTRO
Am Dm
C'mon and help me babe, C'mon now!
Am Dm
C'mon and help me babe, I was blind.
F
The grass it grows low and high,
G
Twists right up to the sky,
Am (Dm)
White clouds roll on by ...
C'mon now annnnd help me babe
Remaining Lyrics:
A loose wind last night blew down
Black trees bent to the ground
Their blossoms made such a sound
That I could not hear myself think babe
Come on now
And help me babe
Help me now
I was blind
I was a fool
