Patty Griffin   Moses  written by Patty Griffin


E
Diamonds, roses,I need Moses
   B                             A                      E
To cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
E
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness
      B                          A                  E
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes Or I think I will die
B             A             E 
Everywhere is somewhere And nowhere is near
   B               A               E
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
       B                A              E
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
        B                      A
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer
E
Everytime I see him he smiles

And he tells me how well he's walking these miles
       B                    
But he never ever asks a single thing about me
     A
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually
E
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
   B                             A                      E
To cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
B             A             E 
Everywhere is somewhere And nowhere is near
   B               A               E
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
       B                 A            E    
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
B                                        A
Go home to an empty apartment and call a best friend who is a queer
E
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
  B                              A                      E
to cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
   B                             A                      E
to cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
   B                             A                      E
to cross this sea of loneliness, Part this red river of pain
