Tamara

Word and Music by RAW Boswin

Em D C Em D C

A stitch in time, That's me in the mine, And that's Tamara beside me…

This photograph, well it reads like a map And it always serves to remind me

We cut our lives from the depths of the loam, Picking coal from the table

Lifting millions of would-be diamonds, From the pit to the edge of the rainbow,

C D Em D/F#

Before they light up the sky…

Chorus:

G D/F# Em C

Don't worry, we can make it through Tamara, We’ll work the seam so we'll be taken care of,

G D/F# Em C

We're feeding the lines and the lights of the city…

Em - D/F# - G – Am - G/B – C – D

While I’m at work, so deep in the earth, I feel the devil beside me,

I think of you, its all I can do, when the earth started moving around me..

Another Driller set another charge, Another fire in the hole

A hundred tons of rock come flying and the pit starts raining coal

And the driller said it's out of control

Chorus 2

G D/F# Em C

Don't worry, we can make it through Tamara, We’ll work the seam so we'll be taken care of,

G D/F# Em C

We're feeding the lines and the lights of the city…

You shine the light, Tamara you remind me, there’s a hundred men trying to find me

Feeding the lines and the lights of the city… Yeah

Em - D/F# - G – Am - G/B – C – D

Instrumental Break

C B7 Em C B7 Em C B7 Em D C G Am D

A stitch in time, that’s me in the mine, The Holy Father beside me

We took a trip to the edge of the rainbow, before we lit up the sky…

Chorus 3

G D/F# Em C

Don't worry, we can make it through Tamara, We’ll work the seam so we'll be taken care of,

G D/F# Em C

We're feeding the lines and the lights of the city…

Em D C
