The Dancer

Artist: P.J. Harvey Song: The Dancer Album: To Bring You My Love View tab in "Courier New" lettering. On the album, the guitar is strummed quite fast and it is easier to play if you place your pick on the last frets of the fretboard rather than the body of the guitar like you normally would. On her latest live performances however, P.J.Harvey plays only the intro (if there is one) and the part from "My love will stay till the river bed run dry" until "The man is gone and heaven only knows" this fast. Chords: E|---0--1--3--1-------------------| B|---1--3--0--1-------------------| G|---2--2--0--2--1----------------| D|---2--0--0--3--2----------------| A|---0-----2--3--2----------------| E|---------3--1--0----------------| The song basically consists of two chord patterns, E. Intro: E X 2 He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name He came bathed in light and splendor and glory I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me E X 2 He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil He said laugh a while, I can make your heart feel He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god And then cry with joy at the depth of my love Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights For the lord just to send me home some sign I've looked long, I've looked far To bring peace to my black and empty heart Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Aaaaah E X 4 My love will stay till the river bed run dry And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky I love him longer as each damn day goes The man is gone and heaven only knows Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights For the lord just to send me up some sign Is he near? Is he far? Bring peace to my black and empty heart So long day, so long night Oh lord, be near me tonight Is he near? Is he far? Bring peace to my black and empty heart Aaaaah End with an Am. Enjoy, Vaggs ;)
