The whole song has only two chords, but I don't know their names. These chords are: 007760 (I'll call it a "Am") and 007780 (I'll call it "Asus4"). Artist: Kristin Hersh Song: The Letter Album: Hips And Makers Intro:Am, Asus4 x 2 Am Asus4 September 29, 1984. Dear so and so Am Asus4 Gather me up because I'm lost Am Or am I back where I started from Asus4 Am I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground Asus4 Am Asus4 I might cry, I won't go home Am I am turning up in circles Asus4 And I'm spinning on my knuckles Am Asus4 Don't forget there are circles left undone Am And very close to me Asus4 Am Forgive me, comfort me Asus4 Am Asus4 I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground There's a blanket wrapped around my head I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this I'm...I'm holding in my breath I have a room Can you tell if I am lying Don't forget I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet There's a box inside my chest An animal stuffed with my frustrations Can you hear me? Don;t forget that I'm alone when you're away You make me act like another people, do forgive me Comfort me, you comfort me, you make me cry I'm gonna cry, I won't go home Doooooooooonnnnnnn't kill the god of sadness Just don't let her get you down See the man inside a book I read can't handle his own head So what the hell am I supposed to do? I wonder how he died My hands are shaking, don't you love me anymore I only need a person, keep my shoulders Stand around, lie down, move your hand above the floor (softer) Gather me up because I'm lost Or am I back where I started from I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground I'm gonna cry, you look for me Love Kristin P.S. Keep them coming I'm not sure if it's right, but it sounds alot like it. Mail me at: rose@sprintlink.co.za if you have the proper version or if you have any other Kristin Hersh songs from her album Hips And Makers (besides the songs already on the OLGA).
