Lucinda Williams - Compassion

      Compassion
Em B Am B

[Verse 1]
Em                      B
Have compassion for everyone you meet
Am                      B
Even if they don’t want it what seems conceit
Am
There’s always a sign
C
Always a sign
B
Always a sign

Em                      B
For those who encounter have compassion
Am                      B
Even if they don’t want it what seems bad manners
Am
Is always a sign
C
Always a sign
B
Always a sign

[Chorus]
Am                      Em
Always a sign of things that worth efforts
B
Always a sign
Em
Of things no eyes have seen

C
You do not know
G                       Em
What wars are going on down there
Am
Where the spirit meets the bone
Em                      Am
Down there where the spirit meets the bone
C                       G
Down there where the spirit meets the bone

[Verse 2]
Em                        B
For everyone you listen to have compassion
Am                        B
Even if they don’t want it what seems cynicism
Am
Is always a sign
C
Always a sign
B
Always a sign

[Chorus]
Am                      Em
Always a sign of things no ears have heard
B                       Em
Always a sign of things no eyes have seen
C
You do not know
G                       Em
What wars are going on down there
Am
Where the spirit meets the bone
Em                      Am
Down there where the spirit meets the bone
C                       G
Down there where the spirit meets the bone
Em                      Am
Down there where the spirit meets the bone
Em                      Am
Down there where the spirit meets the bone
C                       G                       C
Down there where the spirit meets the bone
