It's Alright (written by Emily Saliers) Indigo Girls from: Shaming of the Sun (in 4/4 time, DADGBe tuning)
This is a very rough idea of it, and I'm sorry, but it's better than nothing. =) Hopefully they'll come out with a song book soon.
----------------------------
it's alright 40 days of rain skin streched out from the growing pain it'd be nice to have an explination but it's alright
and it's alright if you hate that way if you hate me 'cause I'm different if you hate me 'cause I'm gay the truth of the matter come around one day and it's alright
I look at this life line streched
way all across my hand
I look at the burned out empty
like a plague across the land
and for everything I learned there are
two I don't understand
that's why I'm still on a search through the weather strewn church
I'm doing the best that I can (stop) and it's alright
it's alright though we worry and fuss we can't get over the hump can't get over us seems easier to let go and trust but it's alright
when we get a little distant some things get clearer give 'em space some hearts grow nearer I ran as hard as I could still ended up here and it's alright
Well I look at this life line streched
way all across my hand
I look at the fires of hatred burning up the bounty of this
beautiful land
and I know I'm small in a way
but I know I'm strong
and it's my thirst that brought me to the water
I give it all up as she carries me on and it's alright
*bridge* G A D x2
(finger picking)
and it's alright if I feel afraid
my plans in pieces, my plans mislaid
it's the will of the way, the will of the way
the will of the only way that could have brought me here today (stop) and it's alright
