Innocence Maintained
by Jewel Kilcher
Transcribed by Elizabeth Timberlake

  The tab remains the same throughout the entire song.  To figure out her
plucking pattern and the rest of the lyrics, listen to the tape-it's
fairly easy.  Enjoy!

           D
Ophelia drowned in the water
           D
Crushed by her own weight
              C
Hitler loved the blue eyed boys
           C
and it drove him to hate
                     D
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
      D                                              G
Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend

I saw a man with a hole he could not fill
He couldn't make the world work for him
and didn't work and still (??)
There was a hole inside his soul           (same as verse 1)
that whiskey could not still
So he found himself a girl to love
while babies choked in the windowsill

        D            C
We've made houses for hatred
       G
It's time we make a place where
   D        C            G
People's souls may be seen and made safe
    D            C             G
be careful with each other these fragile flames
  D         C                    D       C      G
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
