This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

"LOVE'S RECOVERY" by Indigo Girls www.indigogirls.com
From their 1989 self-titled album
Written by Emily Saliers
Transcribed by T-rev www.t-rev.net
Standard tuned, normal capo 1st fret while also capoing the
bottom five strings at the 3rd fret. I'd call this capoing
"drop-D-style +1".
INTRO: D5 Dsus4 Dadd4 Dsus2 (2×)
D G
During the time of which I speak
% D
It was hard to turn the other cheek
G % A11 A7
To the blows of insecurity
Feeding the cancer of my intellect
The blood of love soon neglected
Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
G % E7/G# %
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
A % G %
They've all gone & left each other in search of fairer weather
D G A11
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
A7 D5 Dsus4 Dadd4 Dsus2
To the slim chance of love's recovery
There I am in younger days star gazing
Painting picture perfect maps
Of how my life and love would be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
My compass, faith in love's perfection
I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Left each other one by one on the road of fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love's recovery
Asus4 %
Rain soaked and voice choked
Cadd9 %
Like silent screaming in a dream
D % % E7
I search for our absolute distinction
Asus4 %
Not content to bow and bend
Cadd9 %
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures
D % Bm %
Eating us away, eating us away
G % A13 A7 A13 A7
Eating us away to our extinction
Oh how I wish I were a trinity
So if I lost a part of me
I'd still have two of the same to live
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal
As specks of dust we're universal
To let this love survive would be
A13 A7 A13 A7
The greatest gift that we could give
Tell all the friends who think they're so together
That these are ghosts and mirages
All these thoughts of fairer weather
Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms
Of love's discovery
