[Intro]
 
Am F* C x4
 
         Am          F*     C
There is light in my lady’s house
            Am            F*      C
And there’s none but some falling rain
 Am         F*     C
Less like a spoken word
       Am            F*       C
She is more than her thousand names
 
 
G                     F*
 No hands are half as gentle
C                    G
Firm as they like to be
Am                       F*
Thank god you see me the way you do
C
Strange as you are to me.
 
 
Bridge - As Intro and Chorus
 
 
      Am         F*     C
It is good in my ladies house
        Am             F*   C
And the shape that her body makes
Am        F*      C
Love is a fragile word
       Am         F*      C
In the air on the length we lay
 
 
G                     F*
 No hands are half as gentle, or,
C                    G
Firm as they like to be
Am                        F*
 Thank God you see me the way you do
C                     G
Strange as you are to me.
 
 
Outro - As Intro
 
 
Use lots of palm muting and hammer-ons in this song, especially in the C and G with your
middle finger. Never strum the full chord, just hit a couple of strings at a time.

i play this song slapping the strings down alot with my plucking hand , mostly in the c chord but i go like Am, bass note to the octave note, then go to the f and do that little thing into the c photoslut said then hammeron with middle finger and imediately slap the strings with my plucking hand, strum a bit then hammer on again and repeat. that probably makes no sense but thats the best i can explain it

I think in between playing the F* chord and the C chord, he plays the E string 1st fret, then D open, then A open. hope that helps! anyone got any ideas for what other little tricks he does to make it sound like it does, other than the obvious hammer on in C with your middle finger?

I think the capo should be on 3 rather than 2. That seems to work with the version on Norfolk.
