A fab cover by Greg Laswell (originally by Kate Bush). Greg’s is in the same key
but his timings and chord variations are quite different from Kate’s.
I suggest you play the following along with the track for best results…
Capo 1
 
     G   C
Pray God you can cope.
 G    C
I stand outside
             Cmaj7
This woman's work,

     I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking:

     Of all the things I should have said, but I never said.

Give me your...               hand
