Laura Marling

Biography:

Laura Marling (born 1st February 1990) is a folk singer/songwriter/guitarist from Eversley, United Kingdom.

She began playing the guitar at the age of five, first being taught the blues by her father in front of the family fire, and has been enthralled by the songs and lyrics of the likes of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, James Taylor and John Mayall ever since. It’s not just the “golden-oldies” that Laura admires; she also harbours a rather deep love for alt.

G C G
there's a house over the river but alas i cannot swim
G D
and a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin
G C G
there's a house over the river but alas i cannot swim
G D G
ill live my life regretting that i never jumped in

Interlude: C G C G C G G

G C G
there's a boy over the river with short black curly hair
G D
he wants to be my lover and i want to be his peer
G C G
there's a boy over the river but alas i cannot swim
G D G
i never will get to put my arms around him

Interlude: C G C G C G G

G C G
there's a life up by the river that was meant for me
G D
instead i live my life in constant misery
G C G
there's a life across the river but i do not see
G D G
why i should please those who'll never be pleased

Interlude: C G C G C G G

Em C Em
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
Em C G
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
Em C G
gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
Em D G
gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
G C G
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
G C
i would rather be driving being held up by a golden gun
G G C G
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
G G C G
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
G G C G
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
