First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes

She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply

She brought to me so many smiles & tears, smiles & tears

Verse:
------
Tired maid slowly drifts into the past, into the past
And finds a home where echos rest, echos rest
She softly kissed my mind, and whispered what we will do with time, do with time
Chorus:
-------
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Bridge: (play Riff A then Chorus)

Verse:
------
Another man I choose to be, choose to be
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Another man I want to be, want to be
And this question, keeps haunting me, haunting me
Chorus:
-------
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Outro:(Play Riff A)
------
I have seen this song many times and it is always done wrong. I
saw Ben play it in concert and this is the format he used. The
chorus is a little iffy so if you have any corrections feel free to
email me. Have fun.

A really easy, yet beautiful song. The timing is the most difficult
thing in this song. There might be some errors, especially in the bridge,
but it sounds really close...
The 'e' and 's' below the tabs represent eighth and sixteenth notes.
'h' means hammer-on.

Lyrics:
Intro
Verse:
Oh no
Here comes that sun again
That means another day
Without you my friend
And it hurts me
To look into the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more
To have to be with somebody else
Chorus:
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
Verse:
With so many people
To love in my life
Why do I worry
About one
But you put the happy
In my ness
You put the good times
Into my fun
Chorus:
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door
Bridge:
We've tried the goodbye
So many days
We walk in the same direction
So that we could never stray
They say if you love somebody
Than you have got to set them free
But I would rather be locked to you
Than live in this pain and misery
Verse:
They say time will
Make all this go away
But it's time that has taken my tomorrows
And turned them into yesterdays
And once again that rising sun
Is droppin' on down
And once again you my friend
Are nowhere to be found
Chorus:
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door
You just walk away
Walk away
Ben Harper, Walk Away.

Widow of a living man
Ben Harper
from The Will to Live
Full credit to you if you know of and appreciate this awesome musician.
The song is played on an acoustic tuned to D(DACFAd), but I will write the
chords in as they are played, so if you are playing on a guitar
tuned to E, Aminor becomes Gminor and so on.
Intro:
I think the chord is called Am2 - x02200
Verse:
AmCGD
Mama why does he treat me so cold so cold so cold
Am c GD
Why do I feel so old so old so old
AmCGD
how long has he treated me unkind unkind unkind
AmCGD
or have I always been so blind so blind so blind
Chorus:
AmFGAmG
I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
AmGAmGFGAm2 --> see above
of a living man of a living man
For subsequent verses and choruses, repeat the above pattern.
Verse:
Why can't the times stay the same
now i am begging him to change
what about all the plans we've made
now i am so afraid
Chorus:
I'm the widow of a living man
Verse:
why does he hurt me so
I'm gonna need somplace to go
he's no longer some kind woman's son
mama i think that I had better run
Chorus:
I'm the widow of a living man
