Standard tuning Capo 2 (or 1) I've only seen two youtube videos of this song, and one is played with the capo on the second fret, the other on the first fret. One version also has extra lyrics. Also I have no idea what she is saying during some parts so the lyrics are probably wrong. Here is a basic interpretation of the strumming pattern: C F e|--0--x--0---x--0----x--0----x--0--| B|--1--x--1---x--1----x--1----x--1--| G|--0--x--0---x--0h2--x--0h2--x--0--| D|--2--x--0h2-x--0h3--x--3----x--3--| A|--3--x--3---x--3----x--3----x--3--| E|----------------------------------| Em F |-----------------0--x--0----x--0---------| |--0--x--0---x--0-1--x--1----x--1---------| |--0--x--0---x--0-2--x--0h2--x--0---------| |--2--x--0h2-x--0-3--x--3----x--3---------| |--2--x--2---x--2-3--x--3----x--3---------| |--0--x--0---x--0-------------------------| C I have an unborn son F I have an unborn son C F and he has not begun to become one with anyone yet Em F he's a box in the closet Em G G7 he's but a thought in my head, oh C F and I've seen the way you see me C F I know the sheets on your bed oh C F so don't pretend you don't see me G G7 stop playing dumb or dead [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/l/lady-lamb-the-beekeeper/352823.html ] Dm F oh I've been reborn southernly C E I've been your dearest friend Dm F I've been alone, lost, and captured(?)

G G7 and the wave of your hair to be baptized in C F (x2) Dm F you are mountains to cross C E you are rivers to bathe by Dm F G G7 you are leading me on down by the breath of your battle cry C F (x2) Dm F whether your steps are running towards C E or whether they're running away from Dm F you are the apple, you are a warrior C E you know I would never put you in danger C F just up on my shoulders C F just up on my shoulders C F just up on my shoulders G G7 steadfast and skyward end on C |
