Shastas Complaint

C                          F     
Waves that beat upon the shore, 
                 C
they brought no peace
C                        F 
Somewhere else I must belong, 
                  C
somewhere for me
 C                           F
Who was it left me there, a boy 
               Am
scared and alone?
              F               
No, I don’t think you heard me 
    C               F             
calling, always thought, He must 
      C
not know
        F               Am    
Surely he would never leave me, 
      F        G     C
wouldn’t leave me here alone

[Verse Two]
 C                           F    
You tell me now that I was never 
      C
on my own?
  C                         F     
Well pardon me, I don’t remember 
       C
you at all
  C                             F 
Cause with my back against the 
                 Am
tomb, I called you out
              F               
But I don’t think I heard your 
   C               F          
answer, I don’t think I heard a 
     Am
sound
          F                C   
I don’t recall you in my anger I 
           F      G      C
don’t remember you at all

C   F   C   G   x2

question me?

 C                               F
Do you command the mountains or 
               C
calm the raging sea?
  C                           F   
For I am the current, I was there 
              Am
to save your life
            F              C      
A man may find his eye deceiving, 
         F               C
a fool holds on to trust his sight
             F               
A wise man knows that his own 
    C              F      G      C
feeling may not with the truth align

[Verse Four]
 C                           F    
And you think that you have never 
          C
seen my face?
 C                         F      
But every moment you’re alive, you
        C
 know my grace
  C                           F   
For only death in this whole world
              Am
 is justly deserved
            F              C      
And you say that I do not answer, 
         F                 C
just because you have not heard
          F                 C     
But you don’t know yet how to 
      F      G      C
listen or to understand my words

I drove from you
   F           C
Beasts in the night

slept
