/ Indigo Girls / Swamp Ophelia (1994) / Power of Two guitar tab

Power of Two (Indigo Girls)

Here's Power of Two by IG.  The strumming is syncopated and complex but
these chords are (I think) the basis of it all.  It helps to play along
a few times.  I think they use a capo on the 5th fret (or somewhere near
there...)  Have FUN!

D/F#     G       C     G     G      D       Am
now the parking lot is empty everyones gone someplace
D/F#        G              C          G      F                 Am     D
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed a cooler & a 2-day suitcase
D/F#            G        C      G      G      D      Am
cause theres a place we like to goto, way out in the country
D/F#     G          C                 G           F             Am   D
5 miles out of the city limit we're singin & your hands upon my knee


chorus
------
         G          G/F             C               D
so we're ok, we're fine, baby i'm here to stop the crying
               G               G/F
chase all the ghosts from your head
                   C                     D
stronger than the monster beneathe your bed
  B7                Em                    C
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
                     G                  D/F#   Em
we'll look at them together then we'll take em apart
               Am        Am/B       Am/C
adding up the total of a love thats true
         D                     G
multiply life by the power of two.



you know the things that i am afraid of, I'm not afraid to tell
& if we ever leave a legacy its that we loved each other well
Ive seen the shadows of so many people trying on the treasures of youth
a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash & i'm glad we got off
   to tell you the truth

chorus
------

bridge
------
Am      Am/B         Am/C           Am/B
all the tiny little trinkets of temptation
          Am              Am/B      G
something new instead of something old
Am       Am/B        Am/C                Am/B            Am/C Am/B Am
all you gotta do is scratch beneathe the surface and its foo-oools gold
Am/C Am/B  Am
foo-oools gold


now we're talking bout a difficult thing and your eyes are getting wet
but i took us for better and i took us for worse dont you ever forget
the stell bars between me and a promise suddenly bend with ease
the closer i'm bound in love to you the closer i am to free

chorus
