Morning Theft

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

F5 Fm5

So I can believe

F5 F4

You had so much to give

F5 Fm5

You thought I couldn't see

F5 F4

Gifts for boot heels to crush

F5 Fm5

Promises deceived

G# A#

I had to send it away

Fm5

To bring us back again

F5 F4

Your eyes and body brighten

F5 Fm5

Silent waters, deep

F5 F4

Your precious daughter in the

F5 Fm5

Other room, asleep

F5 F4

A kiss "Goodnight" from every

F5 Fm5

Stranger that I meet

G# A#

I had to send it away

Fm5

To bring us back again

Brought you here, to me

A place where we can

Accept this love

Fdim

Friendship battered down by

Am

Useless history

Unexamined failure

F5 F4

But what am I still to you

F5 F4

Some thief who stole from you?

Dm5 Cm5

Or, some fool drama queen

Bb5 Cm5

Whose chances were few?

F5 F4

That brings us to who we need

F5 F4

A place where we can save

Dm5 Cm5

A heart that beats as

Bb5 Cm5

Both siphon and reservoir

F5 F4

You're a woman, I'm a calf

F5 F4

You're a window, I'm a knife

Dm5 Cm5

We come together

Bb5 Cm5

Making chance in the starlight

F5 F4

Meet me tomorrow night

F5 F4

Or any day you want

Dm5 Cm5

I have no right to wonder

Bb5 Cm5

Just how, or when

F5 F4

You know the meaning fits

F5 F4

There's no relief in this

Dm5 Cm5 Bb5

I miss my beautiful friend

G#5 A#5

I have to send it away

Fm5 G# G#4 G# G#4 F5

To bring her back again
