I m a bit fuzzy on the second frase on the second verse (lyricly), and on the outro (chords.
please forgive any mistakes on the lyrics, I couldn t find them anywhere.
I recommend when you are playing the verses, to hammer on from the 0 to 3 in the 5th string while
playing the
Cadd9 chord and from 0 to 2 in the 5th string while playing the Em7 chord.
So here it is.
Standard Tunning, Capo 2 fret
Chords:
e|----3----| |----3----| |----0----| |----0----| |----0----|
B|----3----| |----3----| |----1----| |----3----| |----3----|
G|----0----| |----0----| |----0----| |----2----| |----2----|
D|----2----| |----2----| |----2----| |----0----| |----0----|
A|----3----| |----2----| |----0----| |----2----| |----x----|
E|----x----| |----0----| |----x----| |----x----| |----3----|
[Intro]
- (x5)
[Verse]
Sheâs sitting next to quiet In the corner of the room
And she will not speak a sound Afraid she might speak it out of tune
And she wants to bare her secret But is much too cold tonight
-
And you will not catch her sleeping
- - -
She goes down to the light house to wash away the night
Of a man that comes to visit her somethingâs just not right
And she knows she cannot tell, mother says its not polite
-
But you will not catch her sleeping
[Chorus]
Quiet Marie whispers in the dark
Quiet Marie keeping secrets in your heart
So close your eyes
Donât you cry
(voice only)
Itâs alright - This is papas lullaby
[Intro]
- (x3)
[Verse 2]
Now the tides and waves keep crashing somethingâs grow up strong
If time canât heal all those black and blues why does the world keep moving on
She looks like every other person she knows exactly when to grin
-
But you will not catch her sleeping
[Chorus]
Quiet Marie whispers in the dark
Quiet Marie keeping secrets in your heart
So close your eyes
Donât you cry
(voice only)
Itâs alright - This is papas lullaby
-
So close your eyes
Donât you, Donât you cry
(voice only)
Itâs alright - This is papas lullaby
[Outro]
(Repeat till complete fade out)
