Our Lady of the Well
Jackson Browne

Intro: |G/D  |D9sus4  |D9sus4/A  |G

         G                                             C
It is a dance we do in silence far below this morning sun
                                         G
You in your life, me in mine, we have begun
                                                                C
And here we stand and without speaking draw the water from the well
                      G         Dsus2/F#  Em        D       C
And stare beyond the plains to where the mountains lie so still

           G    C               G
But it's a long way that I have come
                             Am                              C
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
                             G      Bm                Em
Where the families work the land as they have always done
           Am             C                G   D C
Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone

           G                                                  C
Across my home has grown the shadow of a cruel and senseless hand
                                                     G
Though in some strong hearts the love and truth remain
                                                           C
And it has taken me this distance and a woman's smile to learn
                        G        Dsus2/F#  Em     D     C
That my heart remains among them and to them I must return


           G    C               G
But it's a long way that I have come
                            Am                               C
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
                              G       Bm                 Em
Where your children will be born, you watch them as they run
           Am             C              G
Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone

       D                            C
If you look for me, Maria, you will find me in the shade
     G        G/F#                     Bm   C
Wide awake or in a dream, it's hard to tell
       D                             C
If you come to me, Maria, I will show you what I have made
       G               F           C
It's a picture for Our Lady of the Well
