WATERSHED (Emily Saliers) [Emily fingerpicks most of the song except for the bridge and possibly the last chorus; her guitar has the low E tuned down to D. Amy strums all the chords, and I don't know if her guitar has the low E tuned down.] [Do NOT rely on the chord names in the verse and chorus; refer to the tabla- ture for fingerings. The strummed chords in the bridge are: Bm7(4)=x20230; E7=x20130; C(9)=x32033; G=x20033; A7=x02020; A7sus4=x02030.] [As written, each chord is half a measure, except pairs of chords joined by hyphens are a half-measure _total_.]
Intro
Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand
The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned They say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied Well I better learn how to swim 'Cause the crossing is chilly and wide
Twisted guardrail on the highway, broken glass on the cement The ghost of someone's tragedy, how recklessly my time has been spent They say that it's never too late, you don't get any younger Well I better learn how to starve the emptiness Bb C D D A7sus - A13sus A7sus - A13sus And feed the hunger
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road You can stand there and agonize G E7/G# A7 A13 A7no3 A7no3 Till your agony's your heaviest load You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is Worth your while
And there's always retrospect to light a clearer path Every five years/days or so I look back on my life and I have a good laugh You start at the top, go full circle round, catch a breeze, take a spill But ending up where I started again makes me wanna stand still
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road You can stand there and agonize, till your agony's your heaviest load You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is Worth your while
Stepping on a crack Breaking up and looking back Every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait C(9) C(9) G A7 A7sus4 A7 [stop] Till every step you take becomes a twist of fate
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road You can stand there and agonize, till your agony's your heaviest load You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is worth your while
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road You can stand there and agonize, till your agony's your heaviest load You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is worth your while
