Innocence Maintained

Innocence Maintained
    by Jewel Kilcher




Innocence Maintained:

          D
Ophelia drowned in the water
          D
Crushed by her own weight
          C
Hitler loved the blue eyed boys           
          C
and it drove him to hate                     
                    D
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
      D                                              G
Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend

I saw a man with a hole he could not fill
He couldn't make the world work for him and didn't work and still (??)
There was a hole inside his soul     (same as verse 1)
that whiskey could not stillSo he found himself a girl to love
while babies choked in the windowsill     

   D            C
We've made houses for hatred       
       G
It's time we make a place where
   D        C            G
People's souls may be seen and made safe
    D            C             G
be careful with each other these fragile flames
  D         C                    D       C      G
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained

Bridge:  A  G  A  G  A  G  A  C

This song is made up of a few different notes, as "Barcelona" is, and the 
D-Non-Commital
takes some practice. Enjoy!

All the verse notes are fingerpicked EXACTLY like the intro, but D-NC uses 
the 4
highest strings, and Cadd9 uses the 2,4,5,&6 strings, same order. You'll 
figure it out.
