It's Alright (written by Emily Saliers)
Indigo Girls
from: Shaming of the Sun
(in 4/4 time, DADGBe tuning)

This is a very rough idea of it, and I'm sorry,
but it's better than nothing. =) Hopefully
they'll come out with a song book soon.

----------------------------

D
it's alright 40 days of rain
skin streched out from the growing pain
it'd be nice to have an explination
but it's alright
D
and it's alright if you hate that way
if you hate me 'cause I'm different
if you hate me 'cause I'm gay
the truth of the matter come around one day
and it's alright
G
I look at this life line streched
Gm D
way all across my hand
D E7
I look at the burned out empty
G A7
like a plague across the land
G Gm
and for everything I learned there are
D
two I don't understand
E7
that's why I'm still on a search
through the weather strewn church
E7 G A(7)
I'm doing the best that I can
(stop)
and it's alright

D
it's alright though we worry and fuss
we can't get over the hump
can't get over us
seems easier to let go and trust
but it's alright
D
when we get a little distant some
things get clearer
give 'em space some hearts grow nearer
I ran as hard as I could
still ended up here
and it's alright
G
Well I look at this life line streched
Gm D
way all across my hand
E7
I look at the fires of hatred
burning up the bounty of this
G
beautiful land
Gm
and I know I'm small in a way
D
but I know I'm strong
E7
and it's my thirst that brought me to the water
G A(7)
I give it all up as she carries me on
and it's alright

*bridge*
G A D x2

(finger picking)
D
and it's alright if I feel afraid
E7
my plans in pieces, my plans mislaid
G
it's the will of the way, the will of the way
A
the will of the only way that could have
brought me here today
(stop)
and it's alright
