Nobody Knew She Was There chords by
Peggy Seeger
Peggy Seeger

N/A
Verse 1
D

Ewan wrote this song
Bm

for his mother.
D

She went out office cleaning.
G

She walks in the cold, dark hour
D

before the morning
G

The hour when wounded
D
G

night begins to bleed
D

Stands at the back of the patient queue
G

The silent, almost sleeping few
D
G
D

Seeing no one and not being seen
G

Working shoes are wrapped in
D

working apron
G
D
G

Rolled in an oilcloth bag across her knees

The swaying tram as
D
G

saults the morning steely

Blue -grey day is dawning
D
Bm

Draining the last few
G
D

dregs of sleep away
G

Over the bridge and the writhing
Bm

foul black water
D
G

Down through empty
D
G

corridors of stone
D

Each of the blind glass walls she passes
G

Shows her twin in sudden flashes
D
G

Which is the mirror im age,
D

which is real?
G

Crouching hooded gods
D

of word and number
G
D

Accept her bent -backed as her due
G
D

The bucket steamed like incense coils
G

Across the endless floor she toils
D
Bm
G

Cleaning the same wide sweep
D

each day anew.
G

Glistening sheen of new
D

washed floor is fading.
G
D
G

There where of his clocks are marking time,

D

Night's black tide has ebbed away
G

Past cliffs of glass awash with day.
D
G

She hurries from her labors, still unseen
D
G

He who lies beside her does

not see her
D
G

Notice the child that once lay at her breast
D
G

The shroud of self -denial covers

eager girl and tender lover,
D
G
D

only the fated servant now is left,
G

how could it be
Bm

that no one saw her drowning,
G
D
G

how did we come to be so unaware,

D

at what point did she cease to be her,
G

when did we cease to see her,
D
G

how is it no one knew
D

That she was there

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
