	  Kate Wolf - Poet's Heart 


th Fret 



Intro: Em7    C  B7  Em  G 

                   Am 
I wrote to you somewhere in South Australia 
  F                   C             G 
A poet's heart in the eye of a hurricane 
                                 Am 
I struggle with finding words to sing these days, I said 
   C                                 B7                      Em    G 
As if my thoughts are waiting in the wings for the stage to clear 


Chorus: 
                             Am 
And you in your elegance and humour fill the room 
     Em               D 
Your love and your concern 
     C                         B7                   C 
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear 
  D             Em7         G 
I thank you for being here  


                           Am 
You wrote of love from the coast of Mendocino 
  F            C                  G 
A poet's heart crying a fighter's tears 
                                 Am 
The children of your body spread out across this earth 
     C                       B7                 Em     G 
Like messages written across time measuring the years 


Chorus: 
                         Am 
You in your elegance and humour fill the room 
     Em               D 
Your love and your concern 
     C                         B7                   C 
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear 
  D             Em7          G 
I thank you for being here 


                         Am 
I heard your songs reach out to California 
  F            C                      G 
A poet's heart locked in the Coeur d'Alene 
                                      Am 
Of the old men and the booze, singing out the truth in lives 
      C                         B7 
Of forgiveness and loyalties to friends 
                                 Em    G 
Constant as the endless railroad ties 


Chorus: 
                         Am 
You in your elegance and humour fill the room 
     Em               D 
Your love and your concern 
     C                         B7                   C 
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear 
  D             Em7          G 
I thank you for being here 


Instrumental: Am  F  C  G  Am  C  B7  Em  G 


                      Am 
So here we are joined finally by our words 
F                 C                 G 
All poets' hearts close though far apart 
                             Am 
I remember how you said that language is a knife 
     C                               B7                     Em  
That spreads what we feel across the dry crust of someone's heart 


Chorus: 
G                        Am 
You in your elegance and humour fill the room 
     Em               D 
Your love and your concern 
     C                         B7                   C 
Your anger at the injustice of man's narrowness and fear 
  D             Em7       
I thank you for being here
