Innocence Maintained
by Jewel Kilcher
Transcribed by Elizabeth Timberlake
The tab remains the same throughout the entire song. To figure out her
plucking pattern and the rest of the lyrics, listen to the tape-it's
fairly easy. Enjoy!
D
Ophelia drowned in the water
D
Crushed by her own weight
C
Hitler loved the blue eyed boys
C
and it drove him to hate
D
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
D G
Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend
I saw a man with a hole he could not fill
He couldn't make the world work for him
and didn't work and still (??)
There was a hole inside his soul (same as verse 1)
that whiskey could not still
So he found himself a girl to love
while babies choked in the windowsill
D C
We've made houses for hatred
G
It's time we make a place where
D C G
People's souls may be seen and made safe
D C G
be careful with each other these fragile flames
D C D C G
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained
Bridge:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JEWEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
