                               "Ivy, Ivy"
                      (Michael Brown - Tom Feher)

Intro:

    nylon-string guitar (detuned whole-step):

    [Note: this can be counted in 4/4 - it even works out to an integral
     number of bars - but I found that bar lines were more of a hindrance
     than a help in phrasing it properly.]

Verse 1:

            (Dm)
        You swear that it's always love
        But it's not there or there's not enough
          Bm     D/A
        Ivy, Ivy
        Gmaj7                     C/G
              Ivy, when will you learn
        Gmaj7                           C/G
              That love cannot exist on lies
        Gmaj7                       C/G
              You only get what you earn
        Gmaj7                         A
              It's right before your eyes
             G [N.C.]
        Oh, Ivy (Ivy)

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

        You can't make goodbye distrust
        Your love lying under dust
        You must see, Ivy
        Ivy, how can you live
        On hurting those that love you
        And hiding what you've got to give
        To fight something you must prove
        Oh, Ivy (Ivy)

[repeat intro; fade]
