 From: Dann Butterfield 
 Subject: CRD: 'Martha' by Jefferson Airplane
 Martha
 (Paul Kantner)
 THE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE
 from After Bathing At Baxter's, 1967
 
 Am: x02210  Bm/A: x03320
 
 Intro:
 {Am / / / Bm/A / / /}
 
 Verse 1:
 (fingerpicked)
            Am              Bm/A          Am    
 Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps,           
 Bm/A        Am  Bm/A
      patiently
     Am              Bm/A                Am      
 She sifts the hairy air that's warm and woodswept,        
 Bm/A         Am  Bm/A
      pleasantly
 
 Bb              Ab           C       Bb  Am / / / Bm/A / / / (repeat)
 She does as she pleases, she listens for me
 
 Verse 2:
 
 Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, fly to me
 You can dance and sing and walk with me, 
 and dreams will fade and shadows grow (??, something that 
                                        rhymes with 'me')
 
 Bb              Ab           F     Eb        Bb / / / Eb / Ab /
 She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
 Bb              Ab           C     Bb       Am / / / Bm/A / / /
 She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
 
 (guitar solo over {Am / / / Bm/A / / /} repeated)
 
 Verse 3:
 
 My love she talks to waking windows as she murmurs to her feet, 
                                                         thoughtfully
 She separates in laughter to her side, caught for me
 
 She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
 She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
 
 Verse 4:
 
 Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock, and it's waiting 
                                                         there for me
 She weaves apart through a token lock, what a great thing to be free
 Am
 She weeps, tired and starts unspoken, but when the gate swings, 
 There she'll be
 There she'll be
 
 (no accompaniment)
 In green sun
 On blue earth
 Under warm running shower
 
 *****
 
 Does anyone know the words to that last line of the second verse?
 I would appreciate feedback.
