                               "Ivy, Ivy"
                      (Michael Brown - Tom Feher)

Intro:

    nylon-string guitar (detuned whole-step):

    [Note: this can be counted in 4/4 - it even works out to an integral
     number of bars - but I found that bar lines were more of a hindrance
     than a help in phrasing it properly.]

Verse 1:

	    (Dm)
	You swear that it's always love
	But it's not there or there's not enough
	  Bm     D/A
	Ivy, Ivy
	Gmaj7                     C/G
	      Ivy, when will you learn
	Gmaj7                           C/G
	      That love cannot exist on lies
	Gmaj7                       C/G
	      You only get what you earn
	Gmaj7                         A
	      It's right before your eyes
	     G [N.C.]
	Oh, Ivy (Ivy)

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

	You can't make goodbye distrust
	Your love lying under dust
	You must see, Ivy
	Ivy, how can you live
	On hurting those that love you
	And hiding what you've got to give
	To fight something you must prove
	Oh, Ivy (Ivy)

[repeat intro; fade]
