Spelunking by Laura Veirs

Maybe Laura's most beautiful song..

CAPO: 7th fret

Intro: G   Am   E

      Em
The tiny midnight caravan
          G
Made its way across the black hills
         Am
As I watched from a distance
       C
The slow-going glow
         Am
Their wandering you know
          D
Made me pine
          G
For the lamplight
           C
Where you lie
           E
Where you lie

  Em
If I took you darling
         G
To the caverns of my heart
              Am
Would you light the lamp dear?
               C
Would you light the lamp dear?
          Am
And see fish without eyes
D
Bats with their heads
          G
Hanging down towards the ground
            C
Would you still come around?
         E
Come around?

(Solo on the same chords)

Em
I believe in you
          G
In your honesty and your eyes
Am
Even when I’m sloshing
           C
In the muck of my demise
    Am
A large part of me
    D
Is always and forever tied
             G
To the lamplight
        C
Of your eyes
         E
Of your eyes
