Biography:
Azure Ray is an American indie duo, consisting of musicians Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink. Azure Ray started in Athens, Georgia, in 2001 and later relocated to Omaha, Nebraska, and joined the music scene there, leading to collaborations with Bright Eyes and Now It's Overhead, among others. Their sound is sparse and understated, with intimate lyrics, elements of alt-country and folk Americana, and occasional forays into minimalist electronica.
The duo took a brief hiatus beginning in 2004 while each member pursued solo projects.

"A Thousand Years"
from the album Burn and Shiver (2002)
by Azure Ray (Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink)
*First off, I must note that the high E string is NEVER played in this song at all.
*No capo is necessary.
*A fairly nice ballad with very simplistic picking that can be improvised or mimicked by listening to the
album.
Chords:
F (13321X)
Am (X0221X)
D7omit3 (XX021X)
C (X3201X)
A# (X1333X)
C7 (X3231X)
Intro: F
Am
I'm saving all I'm not giving
D7omit3 C F
But it's overflowing evaporating in the air
Am
As I'm walking and no I'm not breathing
D7omit3 C
I'm not breathing only air
F Am
Cuz it's filled with words once spoken
D7omit3 C
By people everywhere
F Am
And I can hear all the whispers
D7omit3 C
That have lived a thousand years
F Am
It just took me being open
D7omit3 C
For them to reach my eager ears
F Am
Now they've reached my eager ears
A#
And I hope I'll be ready when my life
C7 F C
When my life divides
F
When my life divides
