Morning Theft ~Jeff Buckley

tabbed by Jake Sibel

this is just a transcription of the chords to the song, it's not note for note. you'll

need to listen to the cd to get the feel of it, and figure out some of the fills, but

this is a beautiful song, and this should at least get you stated playing it. it should

be pretty accurate, but Jeff uses some obscure chords in his music.

Time takes

care of the wound

So I can believe

You had so m

uch to give

You thought I couldn't see

Gifts for boot

heels to crush

Promises deceived

I had to

send it away

Fm5

To bring us back again

Your eyes and b

ody brighten

Silent waters, deep

Your precious d

aughter in the

Other room, asleep

A kiss "Goodni

ght" from every

Stranger that I meet

I had to s

end it away

Fm5

To bring us back again

Morning theft

Unpretender left

Ungraceful

Tru

e self is what

Brought you here, to me

A place where we can

Accept this love

Friendship battered down by

Useless history

Unexamined failure

But what am I still to

you

Some thief who stole from

you?

Dm5 Cm5

Or, some fool drama queen

Whose chances were few?

That brings us to who we

need

A place where we can sav

Dm5 Cm5

A heart that beats as

Both siphon and reservoir

You're a woman, I'm a ca

You're a window, I'm a k

nife

Dm5 Cm5

We come together

Making chance in the starlight

Meet

me tomorrow night

Or any day you want

Dm5 Cm5

I have no right to wonder

Just how, or when

You know

the meaning fits

There's no

relief in this

Dm5 Cm5 Bb5

I miss my beautiful friend

I have to

send it away

To bring her back again
