Biography:
Jefferson Airplane, a rock band based in San Francisco, California, was one of the pioneering bands of psychedelic rock. Formed in 1965, the group defined the San Francisco Sound and was the first from the Bay Area to achieve international commercial success. They were headliners at the three most famous American rock festivals of the 1960s—Monterey (1967), Woodstock (1969) and Altamont (1969)—and the first Isle of Wight Festival (1968) in England.

Martha
(Paul Kantner)
THE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE
from After Bathing At Baxter's, 1967
Am: x02210 Bm/A: x03320
Intro:
{Am / / / Bm/A / / /}
Verse 1:
(fingerpicked)
Am Bm/A Am
Martha she listens for the ticking of my footsteps,
Bm/A Am Bm/A
patiently
Am Bm/A Am
She sifts the hairy air that's warm and woodswept,
Bm/A Am Bm/A
pleasantly
Bb Ab C Bb Am / / / Bm/A / / / (repeat)
She does as she pleases, she listens for me
Verse 2:
Martha she calls to me from a feather in the meadow, fly to me
You can dance and sing and walk with me,
and dreams will fade and shadows grow (??, something that
rhymes with 'me')
Bb Ab F Eb Bb / / / Eb / Ab /
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
Bb Ab C Bb Am / / / Bm/A / / /
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
(guitar solo over {Am / / / Bm/A / / /} repeated)
Verse 3:
My love she talks to waking windows as she murmurs to her feet,
thoughtfully
She separates in laughter to her side, caught for me
She does as she pleases, she waits there for me
She does as she pleases, her heels rise for me
Verse 4:
Martha she keeps her heart in a broken clock, and it's waiting
there for me
She weaves apart through a token lock, what a great thing to be free
Am
She weeps, tired and starts unspoken, but when the gate swings,
There she'll be
There she'll be
(no accompaniment)
In green sun
On blue earth
Under warm running shower
*****
Does anyone know the words to that last line of the second verse?
I would appreciate feedback.
