The Things That We Are Made Of Chords

(ver. 1)
Joan Baez
[Intro]
E  Esus4  E  Esus4


[Verse 1]
                   E  Esus4 E                            A   Asus4 A
I remember driving down         the rutted roads late at night
                     B  Bsus4 B                       E        Esus4 E
Following the summer moon       bright as any pair of headlights
                     A                                    C#m
I felt the air on my face    and the night pressed inside my palm
                       B                           A    Asus2 E
A moment captured in a place     this memory stays strong


[Chorus]
              A
Oh my darling oh my love
              E
Oh my darling oh my love
              B
Oh my darling oh my love
                       A      A  E
The things that we are made of


[Verse 2]
                    E Esus4 E                             A   Asus4 A
And I remember feeling        I'm alive and in no need of saviours
                      B  Bsus4 B                           E    Esus4 E
If the past's another country    I'm at the border with my papers
                              A                                   C#m
Where is your heart if not inside you    where is home or are you lost
                       B                                     A          Asus2 E
Where is love if not beside you    I had no answers but they let me cross


[Chorus]
              A
Oh my darling oh my love
              E
Oh my darling oh my love
              B
Oh my darling oh my love
                       A     Asus2 E
The things that we are made of



[Bridge]
                       A                                    E
Like the silence of my shadow    when the twilight world is calling
                          B                          E
The loneliness that knows me    by the cadence of my walking
                     A                                C#m
And the scar upon my elbow    and the sound of my own breathing
                      B                             A     Asus2 E
My reflection in a window    and the way I'm always leaving


[Chorus Melody, humming]
              A
              E
              B
              E
              A
              E
              B
              A    Asus2 A Asus2 E Esus4 E


[Verse 3]
                     E Esus4 E                                       A   Asus4 A
And I remember wishing        for some other life than this one I've claimed
                         B                                   E
How often I have been convinced    how eagerly I'd make that trade
                            A                                    C#m
Then all at once I see your face    and the summer night and the open door
               B                                       A  Asus4 A E
Dimmer now but not erased    and I know what these are for


[Chorus]
              A
Oh my darling oh my love
              E
Oh my darling oh my love
              B
Oh my darling oh my love
              E
Oh my darling oh my love

              A
Oh my darling oh my love
              E
Oh my darling oh my love
              B
Oh my darling oh my love
                       A      Asus2 E
The things that we are made of


[Outro]
A Asus2 E
