Wide Sargasso Sea

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[G]In the beginning she was stun[F]ning and pure
[C]When he first saw her he fai[Eb]nted to the floor
She was d[G]istant and arrogant f[F]rom the start
She did n[C]ot see the fragile state of his h[Eb]eart
She f[G]ell in love with him
On that v[F]ery day
She bec[C]ame softer
[Eb]In every way
[C]Even though
[D]They were so in love
[C]They drew a line in the sand
[D]Just because
They did [C]not know each other
They did [D]not trust
The o[C]nly thing that they did together
[D]    Was to make love

[G]So paradise found was n[F]ot paradise to him

[G]She burned his house down saying
You m[F]ay have forgotten me
But y[C]ou’ll remember this

[G] [F] [G] [F] with slide guitar

W[G]hen that big house burned down all around her
[F]In the smoke and the fire
In the dev[C]astation they never found h[Eb]er
She went b[G]ack into her red dress
[F]Back to her white house
To h[C]er ocean
And after th[Eb]at no words were spoken
Ab[G]out the two of them
Ever[F] again  [C]     [Eb]

[C]Even though
[D]They were so in love
[C]They drew a line in the sand

THEN : [G]  [F]  [C]  [Eb] - OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE END OF THE SONG.

In the beginning
She was stunning and pure
In the smoke and the fire
Well they never found her
She went back into the ocean
Back to her white house
For a while they were so in love
For a while they were so in love
She burned his house down

NO GUITAR FROM THIS POINT ON UNTIL THE END

My face
My eyes
My lips

You may have forgotten that

You may have forgotten that

You may have forgotten that

But you’ll never forget that
kiss
