Old Rich World's Daughter chords by
Alasdair Clayre
Alasdair Clayre

N/A
Verse 1
D

You sit there letting all the intensity

of the ages disappear in you
C
D

Like rain falls into water

You're the girl who takes the earth

as just one pearl among her other pearls
C
D

Oh, rich world's daughter
Bm

You watch a man throw his happiness

like a ball into the sky
Em

Turn your head, see it fall,
A

hear him cry and give a sigh
Bm

And turn the record player louder
A
G
D

Oh, rich world's daughter

You sit there listening as a needle spins

You bark and beats out pop
C
D

Then you lie idling over mountains in a glider

A pasacadia moves electric

instruments,

hammer blues
C

You yawn and let your smile
D

stretch a little wider
Bm

A man puts his arms round you

and gives his need and hope
Em

To an image of old beauty

You consent to act for a moment
A

then you yawn
Bm

Turn to something newer,

something brighter
A
G
D

Oh, Richwell's daughter

The time has gone

when all your years have moved us

Straight as a single bullet to your death
C
D

In one direction of your choosing

You've got the pictures

and the poems and the music

All preserved for you
C
D

Away is the only thing you're losing
Bm

Till you've paused at different men

Like automatic writing at a comma
Em

New dresses for the winter

New lovers for the summer

Anyone
A
Bm

Love is just a fantasy

I've brought you
A
D

Oh, rich world daughter

  • 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.
