Subject: CRD:Lovers in a dangerous time by BNL

Actually, it's by Bruce Cockburn, but the ladies do a pretty decent version
of it too.  This is how I do the song, not the same key as Cockburn, but
you get the idea.

Lovers in a Dangerous Time

G                    Amin                   F
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
G                Amin               F
You never get to stop and open your eyes
G              Amin                   F
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
G                              Amin         F
And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all


            G      Amin           F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Amin           F
Lovers in a dangerous time


G             Amin                F
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
G            Amin                 F
This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
G       Amin                  F
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
G           Amin                 F
Never a breath you can afford to waste


	    G     Amin            F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Amin           F
Lovers in a dangerous time
	    G     Amin            F
When you're lovers in a  dangerous time
G      Amin           F
Lovers in a dangerous time

G           Amin                  F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G                                Amin             F
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
G                              Amin                 F
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
G                     Amin                       F
You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight


	   G     Amin             F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Amin           F
Lovers in a dangerous time
	   G     Amin             F
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
G      Amin           F
Lovers in a dangerous time
