St. Patrick by James Yorkston

These, obviously, are just the basic chords: your life will be greatly improved by 
caution to the wind and experimenting around those shapes every once in a while.

C
I didn’t sleep at all last night
C
I thought my heart had mastered the run of these seas
F
But they appear not to care about calming lately
Am				F
I awoke with a smart and a look at the phone.
F						F
I swear that I would have called you if I’d been sure you were alone.
				   C
And doesn’t that drive things home?


C
The hardest time to forget is when sleep clears your mind,
C
Bringing up what might have been, and who’s by her side.
F
And if I appear forlorn, that’s the reason truly.
Am					F
Should I find myself a surrogate to keep the winters warm
					F
Blame her for my former love and blunt her of her charms?
		      C
Blunt her of her charms?


C
Oh dear Saint Patrick, I pray for some water
C
Just let me quench my thirst this morning after.
F
And this girl by my side, well who knows the future?
Am					F
But if I appear forgetful she’s the reason on my mind
				  F
If you detect a smile it’s as I dream of foreign lands
				C
And letting things get out of hand
F				C
Is exactly what I’ve got planned!
