The Eye by Brandi Carlile - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Brandi Carlile Song List
Version 2
            The Eye – Brandi Carlile

Capo 6

Not sure if this is the way it was recorded, but its relatively simple.

For the F chord: pointer finger fret B string, middle finger fret G, ring finger fret A, pinkie fret D;
transition to C by lifting pinkie and fret D string with middle finger.

For the F's in other parts of the song I fret the low E string with my thumb.
Makes for a quick low F at "hurricane"

[Verse]

F C                        F C                        F
  It really breaks my heart, to see a dear old friend
C  G           Am       F     C
Go down in the worn out place again
F C                    F C                  F
  Do you know the sound, of a closing door?
C        G          Am        F       C     F
Have you heard that sound somewhere before?
C              G        Am     C       G
Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?


[Chorus]

F                                    C
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
 F                                   G
But I never was afraid that it would die
C                  F      Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am                          G      C    F  C
But only if you're standing in the eye


[Verse]

F C                         F  C                        F
  Where did you learn to walk, where did you learn to run?
C  G      Am   F         C
Away from everything you love
F C                         F   C                        F
  And did you think the bottle, would ever ease your pain?
C     G              Am       F       C   F
Did you think that love's a foolish game?
        C        G     Am     F        C     G
Did you find someone else to take the blame?


[Chorus]

F                                    C
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
 F                                   G
But I never was afraid that it would die
C                  F      Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am                          G      C
But only if you're standing in the eye


[Post-Chorus]

C                  F      Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am                          G      C
But only if you're standing in the eye


[Break]


[Verse]

F C                F  C                        F
  I am a sturdy soul, and there ain't no shame
C  G      Am         F       C    F
In lying down in the bed you made
        C          G      Am      F        C     G
Can you fight the urge to run for another day?
                  Am    G                 C
You might make it further if you learn to stay


[Chorus]

F                                    C
I wrapped your love around me like a chain
 F                                   G
But I never was afraid that it would die
C                  F      Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am                          G
But only if you're standing in the eye


[Outro]

C                   F      Am
You can dance in a hurricane
Am                  G               C
But only if you're standing in the eye
