Title : "wisdom"
Artist: David Gray
Album : A Century Ends
Year  : 1992

Note : As with most DG songs, it sounds fine with just one guitar. (if you
have a Clune, use one!!)

This song is all E-shaped barre chords:

Normal tuning

Intro : B, E, A, E (*2)

Play this intro tune throughout the choruses.

         B      E,A,E, B        E,A,E
Chorus : Time no good, Wisdom no good,
         Patience no good, to me anymore

          A                          B
Verse 1 : Now night has fallen on the stair
          Some things you do you can never repair
          Seems I'm always pretending
          things aren't there when they are

          And the leaves are nearly off the trees
          the traffic thick past yellow windows
          and I'm lost inside the frozen headlights
          thinking of you

repeat chorus

Verse 2 : And the trees are looking like bones
          and the afternoon's filled with storm and rain
          I'm staring out of this metal train
          Thinking of you

          And the trees are looking like bones
          and the afternoon filled with rain and storm
          and I'm tangled up in memory's thorns
          no way through

repeat chorus

          A          B      A       B
Bridge :  Trees like bones, yellow windows
          memories, thorns, oh and you

repeat chorus

End
