Wildewoman — Lucius
Chords and lyrics for Wildewoman by Lucius (key of A).
Verse 1
Chords:
[E] [A] [B] [D] [Asus2]
Note: The F# G# A markings all denote neat little bass lines that always
lead into the chord on the following line. So, even though I wrote
them on the end of each line, the bass lines may occur over the top of some
of the words that come before the first chord on the following line.
In the first line of Verse 1, for instance, the F# occurs after the word
"clear," but the G# actually occurs on the word "And."
