Rexroths Daughter

G Gadd9 G Gadd9


[Verse 1]
G
Coldest night of the winter, working
 up my farewell
In the middle of everything under no
Em
 particular spell
G
I am dreaming of the mountains where
 the children learn the stars
Clouds roll in from Nebraska, dark 
Em
chords on a big guitar
C                  G         
My restlessness is long gone, I 
                               D
stand here like an old jack pine
        Am                   
But I'm looking for Rexroth's 
 Em          C           G
daughter, a friend of a friend of 
mine
C                     G
Friend of a friend of mine


[Verse 2]
G
I can't believe your hands and 
mouth, did all that to me
                        Em
Are so daily naked, for all the 
world to see
G
That thunderstorm in Michigan, I 
never will forget
We shook right with the thunder, 
         Em
with the pounding rain got wet
C                           G    
Where did you turn when you 
turned from me, with your arms 
         D
across'd your chest
        Am                  
Oh I'm looking for Rexroth's 
 Em          C                 
daughter, I saw her in the great 
   G
northwest
C              G
The great northwest

[Verse 3]
G
Would she have said it was the wrong
 time, if I had found her then
I don't want too much, a field 
           Em
across the road and a few good 
friends
G
She used to come and see me, but she
 was always there and gone
                           Em
Even the very longest love don't 
last very long
C                       G        
She'd stand there in my doorway, 
                  D
smoothing out her dress
        Am                         
And say "this life is a thump-ripe 
Em        C                G
melon, so sweet and such a mess"
C                     G
Such a mess


[Verse 4]
G
I wanted to get to know you, but you
 said you were shy
I would have followed you anywhere 
    Em
but hello rolled into goodbye
G
I just stood there watching, as you 
walked along the fence
Beware of them that look at you as 
Em
an experience
C                      G         
You're back out on the highway, 
                       D
with your poems of city heat
        Am                   
And I'm looking for Rexroth's 
 Em        C                   G
daughter, here on my own side street
C              G
On my old side street


[Verse 5]
G
The murderer who lived next door, 
seemed like such a normal guy
If you try to follow what they shove
            Em
 at us, you run out of tears to cry
G
I heard a man speak quietly, I 
listened for a while
He spoke from his heart to my woe 
    Em
and then he bowed and smiled
C                   G            
What is real but compassion, as 
                     D
we move from birth to death
       Am                   
Oh I'm looking for Rexroth's 
 Em                C           
daughter, and I'm running out of 
   G
breath


[Verse 6]
G
Spring'll come back I know it will, 
and it will do its best
                                Em
So useful so endangered, like a lion
 or a breast
G
I think about my children, when I 
look at any child's face
And pray that we will find a way to 
Em
get with all this amazing grace
C                G               
It's so cold out there tonight, 
                      D
so stormy I can hardly see
        Am                   
And I'm looking for Rexroth's 
 Em              C                
daughter, and I guess I always 
   G
will be
C             G
I always will be
