250,000 miles Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Oh where is my daughter
that I carried
Gone to where the desert meets the sea
Far from where our family's
bones are buried
Where mother moon walks arm
in arm with me
A lady's maid for ladies who are waiting

[Verse 2]
She paints the toes, [Em]prepares
a stranger's tea
What came before she must
forget or bury
Or carry deep inside [Esus4]her silentl[Em]y
The red lipstick faces [Esus4]in the alleys[Em]
Their echoes and their shadows
[Esus4]wind and wind[Em]
My daughter lives in still a deeper valley
And I fear I am running out [Esus4]of
[Em]time

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Esus4][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Oh where is my daughter that I carried
Gone to where the fears of men obey
While mother moon hangs
silently but [E]is waiting
[Em]250, 000 thousand miles away

[Outro 1]
[Em]
