Patti Smith

Biography:

Patricia Lee "Patti" Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer, poet and visual artist who was a highly influential component of the New York punk rock movement, particularly with her 1975 début album 'Horses'. Called the "Godmother of Punk", she integrated the beat poetry performance style with three-chord rock. Smith's most widely known song is "Because the Night", which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978.

[Intro]

A E D A E A D E

[Verse 1]

A E D A
Nodding tho the lamp's lit low,
E A D E
Nod for passers underground.
A E D A
To and fro she's darning,
E A F#m E
the land is weeping red and pale.

[Chorus]

E D F#m E
Weeping yarn from Algiers.
D F#m E
Weeping yarn from Algiers.

A E F#m D D C#m Bm A A

[Verse 2]

A E D A
Weaving tho the eyes are pale,
E A D E
What will rend will also mend.
A E D A
Sifting cloth is binding,
E A F#m E
the dream she weaves will never end.

[Chorus]

E D F#m E
For we're marching toward Algiers.
D F#m E
For we're marching for Algiers.

[Break]

A E D A E A D E A E D E

[Verse 3]

A E D A
Lullaby tho baby's gone.
E A D E
Lullaby a broken song.
A E D A
Oh, the cradle was our call.
E A F#m E
When it rocked we carried on.

[Chorus]

E D F#m E
And we marched on toward Algiers.
D F#m E
For we're marching for Algiers

E D F#m E
We're still marching toward Algiers.
D F#m E
Marching, marching for Algiers.

[Verse 4]

A E D A
Not to hail a barren sky.
E A D E
Sifting cloth is weeping red.
A E D A
the mourning veil is waving high
E A D E
A field of stars and tears we've shed.

[Verse 4]

A E D A
In the sky a broken flag,
E A D E
Children wave and raise their arms.
A E D A E
We'll be gone but they'll go on and on
A E A
And on and on and on.

A E F#m D D C#m Bm A E
A E F#m D D C#m Bm A A
