This is a great song that Chris Ross wrote fairly recently. It wasn t on either of his
studio albums, but the day he wrote it he posted a video of it on Youtube. CAPO THE 1ST
FRET and Youtube the song to figure out the melody (And the hammer-on s Chris plays
during the intro and vereses)! :D
Intro:
She s a swan in the city
She belongs to the melody line
Every push is a promise
Every pull is a bottle of wine
I m a gull in the gutter
I belong to the clutter and rain
She s a swan in the city
And I let her get away
I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now
Shoot for the spring, put wing to the water and soar out of this town
But I ll be here when the winter trades the color for the white
And she ll be gone and on to another sky
She is lost to the lions
She believes in the heavier things
Every kiss has a cadence
Every kill has the courage of kings
I m a sheep to the slaughter
I m asleep in a watery grave
She is lost to the lions
And I let her get away
I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now
Shoot for the spring, put wing to the water and soar out of this town
But I ll be here when the winter trades the color for the gray
And she ll be gone and on, she ll be gone and on
I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now
Head for the south, the mouth of the river that cuts across this ground
But I ll be here when the winter drains the summer from the sun
And she ll be gone and on, she ll be gone and on to another love
She s a swan in the city
She belongs to the melody line
Every push is a promise
Every pull is a bottle of wine
