Albertine

Intro: Cm G#

G#                                  Cm
I am sitting still, I think of Angeline
                           G#
Her mother's voice over me
                                          Cm
And the bullets in the war where it fell silent

G#
On a thousandth hill,
                Cm
I think of Albertine
                                G#
There in her eyes what I don't see
           Cm
With my eyes

Now that I have seen
        A#
I am responsible
Fm                      G#
Faith without deeds is dead
                D#              A#
Now that I have held you in my own arms
                        Cm
I cannot let go til you are




G#
I am on a plane
                   Cm
Across a distant sea
                   G#
But I carry you in me
                      Cm
In the dust on my feet

Now that I have seen

I am responsible
Fm                      G#
Faith without deeds is dead
                D#              A#
Now that I have held you in my own arms
                        Cm
I cannot let go til you are
