Darlin' Do Not Fear
Words & Music:
Brett Dennen
There is a great transcription of this in the December
2007 issue of Acoustic Guitar.
In that version, use these chords with the capo on the 7th
fret.

Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
Alongside my innocence, I laid in bed awake.
Conflicted in these chains with the impetus of age.
But, like a phantom, she crept across the floor and out the window.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
From its place on the mantle my heart and was taken down
scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground
And out below the street lamp like an orphan with a halo

Your confidence is full as your faith etched in stone.
And neither could comfort you from the wild unknown.
So, bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow.
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know.
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul,
Find something to hold on to or to let go
To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with
hope.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
BRIDGE 2:
'Cause it won't last - your worries will pass.
All your troubles they don't stand a chance.
And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the
most.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky.
Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines.
Sometimes all that you can do is say no.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
I said, when I arrived in my own set of clothes,
I was half a world away from my home.
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the
crows.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

We said, Darlin' do not fear...
