Marissa Nadler – The Whole Is Wide

Capo: 2nd fret

Verse 1:

Bm             A          G
Flowers died a long time ago my friend
            Bm             A         G
And they’re hanging on the wall with wax and thread
              Bm            A              G
When you were young did you think it would ever end?
              Bm            A              G
When you were young did you think it would ever end?


Verse 2:

Bm           A         G
Silvia was a girl that I knew best
        Bm       A      G
And she wore the finest eyelet dress
        Bm      A                 G
And she sits in her room painting golden runes
        Bm      A                 G
And she sits in her room painting golden runes


Chorus:

Bm                     A
Oh what am I to do without a man to see me through?
Bm                     A
Oh what am I to do without a man to see me through?
     G                    F#m
I am more than blue, I am violet


Verse 3:

Bm          A        G
Layla met a man that she loved best
       Bm        A     G
And he died in a fiery crash
        Bm                 A                  G
And the whole is wide, the whole is wide, the whole is wide
       Bm                 A                  G
Oh the whole is wide, the whole is wide, the whole is wide


Chorus:

Bm                     A
Oh what am I to do without a man to see me through?
Bm                     A
Oh what am I to do without a man to see me through?
     G                    F#m
I am more than blue, I am violet


Bm A G Bm
