FEEL OF THE WORLD (Tift Merritt)
--------------------------------
* Actually in Gm; capo 3.
* Each chord is one measure.
* Tift probably plays Am in the verse, not Am7, but the overall feel is more Am7.
* Thanks, Tift, for filling in the lyrics in the second verse via Facebook comments.

Em                G        C       Am7
  I'll tell you what I will miss
Em     G      C                Am7
  California,   and the horses
Em             G              C         Am7
  Down by the sailboats where we waded in

Em                G          C         C
  The feel of the world, in my hands, my hands
Em                G          C         C
  The feel of the world, in my hands, my hands
 G       C    G    C
My hands

And still so many ways that I love the wind
From a storm in the sails to the breath on your lips
It's such a little thing, then again, and again

The feel of the world, your hands, your hands
The feel of the world, your hands, your hands
Your hands

Am               G        D                Am
  Just like the Sunday we drove out from Houston
Am            G                D                Am
  Out to the edge of the world, out where the sky starts to bend
Am          G                        D          Am       C
  After a while in the sun, you'll be sleeping, sleeping

G   C   G   C   G   C
[instrumental]

I picture you now, you are beautiful, you are golden
Just like you were when you thought no one was looking
Time will take care of you love, time will take care of you love
I will take care of you love, again, again

The feel of the world, my hands, my hands
The feel of the world, my hands, my hands
    G   C   G  C   G  C   G  C   Em.
My hands
