Jewel Box

Chords by: Eamonn Bolger Directions:The verse chord progression () remains at a constant rhythm throughout. The chords may not be exactly lined up with the words but the rhythm is quite easy. You should hold each chord for the same time. I sounds like one bar each in 4/4 time. I’ve just put in the chords on the first verse. It’s exactly the same for the other two except the last verse   is one line longer. I’m not sure of the proper names of the first three chords in the chorus so I’ll call them 1 2 and 3 in the chord chart and tab the fingering out below. It’s pretty easy. Listen the the recording if you need help with the length you should hold each chords. You can   play it with just a simple strumming style once you’ve got the rhythm. VERSE: I know you are a woman by the way you burn below. I’ll tell you secrets so good you’ll never tell a soul. Come closer that bonfire that holds his life like stones These years my life unkno-----own. Diamonds from the pavement where the broken glass has been. Just like these troubles I’m leaving to the wind. Like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end. Like thieves my bad luck grows. CHORUS: 1            2        3                    Jewel box of sadness bring to catch your tear. 1          2        3                 Crystalize illusion shine forgot I’m here 1            2        3                    Jewel box of sadness bring to catch your tear. 1                 2    3        Oh you left some stars in my belly. VERSE: Star crossed child’s love on the white of wedding gold. Silver studs of promise hide in the red crushed velvet folds. Inaction intention like emeralds I stole.         A speech of costume gold.                            I think I ought to know.         CHORUS: Jewel box of sadness bring to catch your tear. Crystalize illusion shine forgot I’m here Jewel box of sadness bring to catch your tear. Oh you left some stars in my belly. You left some stars in my belly. You left some stars in my belly.
